Peak District Reviews

The peak district is perhaps one of the nicest places to go in the United Kingdom. I have been walking around the peak district and it is just unlike anything you would ever see in the South. The fresh air of the great outdoors really gets to you and makes you feel so so so happy. Its definently one of the best places to walk around ...  Read the complete review

I've just got back from the peak district and have to recommend it highly. Travelling from London took about three hours and I stayed in Wildboarclough just near Macclesfield and Buxton. This area is simply gorgeous - the bototm part of the area is quite flat, full of rolling hills and farmland. The half we stayed in was lots of high hills which ...  Read the complete review

LLiving just down the M1 in Nottingham, I've taken many a trip to the Peak District National Park. It's a massive place, with too many beautiful walks to comment on - so I shall comment on the best I've come across so far - The Roaches. This fabulous ridge walk is rarely busied by families with pushchairs and suchlike, making it peaceful and ...  Read the complete review

I am lucky enough to live part way up a hill on the edge of the Peak District national park. You'd think this would mean I wouldn't have to walk any further than my window to see the beauty of this fantastic area. However, the landscape contains so many diverse features that the views from Chinley Churn provide a mere glimpse of what the park ...  Read the complete review

I have been to the peak district national park a couple of times and love it there, I think the beautiful surroundings and stunning scenes may have something to do with that. Not only that but I am a huge lover of conserving and protecting the environment so this is right up my street. Hope you enjoy reading about the peak district National ...  Read the complete review

Located in Derbyshire, The Peak District is one of the best places to go in England if you want to have a holiday in the countryside. In fact, if you want to consider that you have seen the best sights that England has to offer, visiting the Peak District is a requirement. Perhaps the scenery lacks the grandeur of the Alpine region and ...  Read the complete review

Instead of our usual jaunt to the seaside, my husband and I decided that what was really needed was something different. We wanted peace and quiet but we also needed to be able to keep the children occupied and happy too. We were lucky enough to find a cottage, high on the moors of Derbyshire, on the edge of the Peak District. Not only did we ...  Read the complete review

I was visiting a friend from Tintwistle a year ago and his only mode of transportation was his Harley. He took me to all of the normal places, Manchester (a real snooze, once you've been to one city you've seen them all), a really cool rope factory near Glossop, it was a great time....but one of my two favorite days of all was when we ...  Read the complete review

Not a million miles from where I live in Shropshire is the Peak District in Derbyshire, around 70 - 80 miles to be a little more precise. I am ashamed to admit it but until the end of August this year I had never visited this area, and what a revelation it was to me. It must be one of England's best kept secrets! Our week was spent ...  Read the complete review

INTRODUCTION I must start here by admitting that I'm not a real fan of trekking. However last Sunday I was convinced by a couple of friends to go walking in the Peak District,and more specifically to Edale Horsheshoe,one of the most spectacular areas in Derbyshire. I should start by saying that this area isn't as crowded with ...  Read the complete review

Well, I just seem to have the most exciting sort of holidays don't I? more like disasters that hit the poor english countryside, for the people never to recover from me or the whirlwind that my friends create! So, I wrote about my love of the Lake District but in answer to a query, yes I have been to the peak district and althought it's ...  Read the complete review

For me the beauty of the Peak District is encapsulated in the dry stone walls that snake across the hillsides for mile after mile in this wonderful part of the country. Away from the Midlands it seems that not too many people are aware of the Peak District, but for the people in this area it is a very popular place to visit with a great ...  Read the complete review

The Peak District stands at the south end of the Pennine Chain bordered by Derby, Manchester, and Sheffield, about 540 square miles are included in the Peak District National Park, it is the first National Park to be created by parliament. It has been popular with visitors since the seventeenth century. By the romantic era The Peak District was ...  Read the complete review

I actually lived in Glossop Derbyshire about 2 years ago, it was one of the most wildest places I have ever lived. Most weekends I would go for drive, because the scenery was so breathtaking. The most beautiful place near me was the Snake Pass, when you reached the peak it was so amazing the majority of the time the road would just be full ...  Read the complete review

This end of the Peak District may not be so rugged as some areas but it is beautiful. Ilam is a very small village at one end of Dovedale but it does have Ilm Hall a National Trust property which is a very good Youth Hostel on the bank of the River Manifold - which you can walk alongside for some way. Dovedale is a narrow valley with a well ...  Read the complete review

Edale is in the northern part of the Peak District...well situated for trains from Manchester, and Sheffield. It's ideal for camping, B&B, walking and unwinding. We stayed at the Fieldhead campsite, which is pretty basic (no powerpoints, so don't bother with your hairdryer), but there are others. The proximity of the railway station is ...  Read the complete review

If you decide to pack you bag and drive off into the Peak District this summer, don't miss out on the Druid Inn. It's a lovely pub in Birchover, Derbyshire, just a couple of minutes from the Buxton, Bakewell and Matlock, all of which you'd put on your list of must-see places. The Druid Inn is named after the druids who practised their ...  Read the complete review

This is a one of the truly unspoilt areas of England, and one which offers unique experiences to the visitor. If youth hostelling is your thing (or even if it isn't!) go stay in the village of Castleton and make that your base for a holiday with a difference. There are fantastic walks across the limestone scenery, and if that is not of ...  Read the complete review

If you have never been to a Traction Engine Rally I firmly recomment you go to the Fairford one in August. Traction Engines come from all over the country to take part in this weekend rally so allow yourself plenty of time as some come by road and although it is a great sight to see them puffing heavily along the road it is a different matter to ...  Read the complete review

The Peak District isn’t just for old people walking. Living in Chesterfield, I have the Peak District as my back garden and although I take it for granted, love the place. Areas of natural beauty are becoming increasing rare in Britain, not only a disappointment for us (the tourists) but also it means there are less habitats for rare ...  Read the complete review
