Why visit the Peak District?
Spectacular landscapes
The Peak District is a largely upland area at the southern tip of the Pennines. The Peak District is divided into two distinct areas – the Dark Peak, which is known for its moorland and gritstone edges, and the White Peak, a limestone area of valleys and gorges.
