The Peak District is one of those places that instantly lifts the mood—rolling hills, rugged moorland, stone-built villages, and the kind of air that makes you want to breathe deep and walk for miles. It straddles several counties but sits proudly at the heart of Derbyshire, drawing walkers, cyclists, climbers, and Sunday strollers alike. Whether you're after a big day out in nature or just a peaceful cuppa in a cosy café with a view, it's the kind of spot that has something for everyone.
It was the very first National Park in the UK, officially designated back in 1951. That step helped protect the area's natural beauty from unchecked development and ensured that future generations could continue to enjoy it. Before all that, though, it had been shaped over centuries by farming, quarrying, and village life. The Kinder Scout mass trespass in 1932 was a key moment in access rights for walkers, putting the Peak District firmly on the map as a landscape for the people. These days, it welcomes millions each year, from seasoned hikers to young families with wellies and picnic baskets. The population of permanent residents scattered across the park is around 38,000, living in places that haven't changed much in generations.
Around the main tourist areas like Bakewell, Castleton, Edale and Hathersage, you'll find all the essentials and plenty more besides. There are tearooms galore, independent shops selling local crafts, traditional pubs with low beams and log fires, and regular farmers' markets. Attractions like Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall are right on the doorstep, both packed with history and beauty, with sprawling grounds to explore. Mam Tor and the Great Ridge offer some of the best views in the Peaks, while caves like Blue John and Speedwell in Castleton let you go underground for something a bit different. Tissington, Eyam and Hartington all make cracking day-trip bases, and you're never far from a good walking trail, whether you're wandering down Monsal Dale or heading up onto the gritstone edges of Stanage.
Across the wider Derbyshire area, the offering keeps growing. Buxton is a spa town with grand Georgian buildings and a lively arts scene, while Matlock Bath has a quirky, almost seaside vibe with fish and chips, cable cars and arcades. Ashbourne is full of charm, and the nearby Dovedale stepping stones are a must-do. Crich Tramway Village, the Heights of Abraham, and Bolsover Castle all bring something different to the mix. Whether it's history, countryside or family-friendly days out, Derbyshire knows how to deliver without feeling overdone.
Getting to the Peak District's surprisingly easy. The Hope Valley railway line is one of the most scenic in the country and connects Sheffield to Manchester, stopping at Edale, Hope and Hathersage. You can also get in via Buxton, Matlock, or Chesterfield, depending on where you're heading. Roads like the A6 and A623 get you close, though some of the lanes are narrow and winding—especially up on the moors. For those flying in, Manchester Airport is your best bet, just under an hour away by car, and East Midlands Airport isn't too far either. Public transport within the park is patchy in places, but buses and trains do cover most of the popular spots.
Derbyshire itself is a county of contrasts—rural but not remote, traditional yet full of character. The Peak District dominates the north, with its wild uplands and limestone dales, while the south has gentler scenery and market towns with bags of personality. It's a place with strong roots and no need to shout about itself, where people are friendly, the food's good, and life runs at a steadier pace. Whether you're staying for a week or just passing through, it leaves an impression.
