Let your senses run wild and get close to nature. See everything from Hollywood film locations to vibrant towns and villages, tune into first-class arts and music festivals and tuck into local food and drink.

Challenge yourself on a bracing moorland walk or soaring gritstone edge. Stretch your legs with a leisurely stroll along a leafy footpath or riverside walk.

Beginners or leisure walkers can choose shorter, less demanding options on our network of public footpaths and traffic-free trails in the Peak District, the Chesterfield area and the National Forest, classic estates such as Chatsworth or circular routes around reservoirs, such as Derwent and Carsington

Tackle a tough upland route on your mountain bike or let an electric bike take the strain and enjoy the scenery – it’s up to you.

Peak through the lens

Gritstone & Sky “Whinstone Lee Tor at the southern end of Derwent Edge offers one of the finest views in the Peak District. Not only does it boast a view along the length of Ladybower Reservoir, flooding Derwent Valley below, but vistas all around to Kinder Scout plateau, Win Hill, Stanage Edge, Bamford Edge and beyond. From here you can continue along Derwent Edge and discover some of the Peak District’s best known and charismatic outcrops such as The Wheelstones, The Salt Cellar and Back Tor. I particularly enjoy visiting Derwent Edge for its feeling of detachment and remoteness. Once the weather closes in, it can feel very much like another world and is in character with some of the great walks in the Dark Peak, taking in Kinder Scout, Bleaklow, Saddleworth, Howden and Midhope Moors.”

Visit Peak District & Derbyshire works closely with a team of professional and amateur Destination Photography Partners to capture the area’s superb and diverse landscapes throughout the seasons.
