Why choose a Peak District weekend break or staycation?
Whether you're looking for a relaxing holiday away from life's stresses or a trip that will invigorate the senses, the Peak District National Park has something to offer you.
The Peak District is the most visited National Park in the UK. And for very good reason. The area is awash with awe-inspiring countryside, breathtaking moorlands, pretty towns and stone villages, and the dramatic and rugged hills of the White and Dark Peaks.
If you love going on epic walks, you'll be spoilt for choice in the Peak District. The unrivalled natural beauty of the landscape, spectacular mountain scenery, wide valleys, sparkling lakes and rivers, and rolling foothills make the perfect backdrop for your expedition. A particular favourite of ours is the ridge walk in Mam Tor. This scenic walk offers a stunning view over Hope Valley and the Vale of Edale.
To get a taste of the laidback and relaxing life in storybook Peak District villages, why not base yourself in the charming market town of Leek? The sleepy town has lots to offer and is surrounded by incredible countryside. Or why not stay in the sweet village of Bakewell? Treat yourself to a delicious Bakewell tart and spend a day wandering around the stunning Chatsworth House. Buxton is another great choice for where to stay in the Peak District. You'll love mooching around the picture-perfect streets, popping into gorgeous shops and enjoying a pint in an ancient pub.
Located at the head of Hope Valley, the village of Castleton is well worth a visit. You can walk in the surrounding hills and explore the famous show caves. The village looks like it's from the pages of a fairytale, and boasts the Norman ruins of Peveril Castle.
The Peak District is home to some of the finest stately homes in the UK. You can spend your whole trip exploring these grand homes which have hosted and housed royalty throughout the centuries. Some of our favourites include Tissington Hall, which dates back to the 1600s, Bolsover Castle and its incredible grounds and views, and the Elizabethan manor, Chatsworth House, built in the 1560s.
If the National Park is your main reason for visiting the area but you still want to take it easy, add Hope Valley, the Heights of Abraham cable car or the White Peak area of the Southern Peak District to your to-do list. You'll still enjoy the stunning views the Peak District is famous for but at a more relaxed pace.
Or, if you're looking for a wilder experience, head to the Dark Peak moorland. This area of heathland is characterised by its often desolate and exposed landscape, studded with idyllic fields of blooming heather.
With so much to see and do in the Peak District, you'll only wish your trip could last longer.
