Walking in the Peak District and Derbyshire
From peaks and lakeside paths to expanses of moorland, the Peak District and Derbyshire are perfect for walkers of all abilities. Plan your hike amid the scenery of Britain’s first national park and beyond.
You only need to be a short way into the Peak District before realising it’s an extraordinary place to explore. However, there are plenty of cliffs to fall off, holes to fall down, and easy to get lost on the moors. So it’s still worth taking it seriously and approaching it with caution.
Only try these walks with a decent pair of walking boots and a water bottle in hand as a bare minimum.
You don’t have to be a professional hiker to enjoy the peaks; plan ahead, show some respect, leave without a trace and Have Fun!
