Download ItineraryIn 1951 the Peak District, in the heart of central England, became the first area in the UK to be designated as a national park to protect the outstanding natural beauty, wildlife and culture of the area. With its rounded hills, miles of wild moor, deep limestone gorges, and gritstone escarpments, the landscape has inspired artists and writers for centuries and continues to be a popular place for location filming.
It is easy to see why this area served as the inspiration for several key scenes in Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice and as the location for a Sherlock Holmes mystery. The Peak District’s wonderful places to walk, beautiful countryside and rich history make it the perfect place to enjoy a short break. As well as taking you on memorable hikes and pausing to appreciate the flora and fauna, your expert guide will share stories of secret places and local legends. There will also be plenty of time to explore fascinating historic sites and wander around stately homes and gardens at your own pace.
