You will certainly never want to leave!
Located towards the north of England, the Peak District National Park encompasses much of northern Derbyshire, however it also crosses into the county borders of Cheshire, Staffordshire, Yorkshire and Greater Manchester.
Towns and villages in the Peak District
Buxton
Buxton has an abundance of amenities, history and stunning surroundings. Its natural thermal springs have drawn people to the town for hundreds of years. With two spas and another in the making, professional health specialists, hair and beauty salons, health shops and independent boutique shops offering retail therapy, Buxton remains a place for rest, recuperation and wellbeing.
Edale
Edale is a small village at the start, or end, of the UK's most famous long-distance walk - the Pennine Way. It may be small, but it is most definitely worth a visit. Nestled beneath Kinder Scout and tucked away at the end of the Hope Valley, it is very popular with walkers and runners. You have the best of both worlds here: An idyllic remote location which is but 30 minutes from the shining lights of Manchester, which makes commuting and day trips to the shops very easy. The village has two popular pubs, a cafe and local shops.
Bakewell
Go to the Peaks, sample the pudding! Bakewell is home to The Original Bakewell Pudding Shop and its frequently packed to the rafters no matter the time of year. Food really is one of the main appeals of the town, with one of the best farmers' markets in the country based there offering fresh local produce. The River Wye runs through the heart of the town and onto Ashford-in-the-Water and there is a five-arched stone bridge that dates back to medieval times.
Castleton
The landscape of Castleton will take your breath away; Winnats Pass is a stunning section of road that is enveloped by the towering limestone peaks either side of it and Hope Valley is equally as striking. Peveril Castle may be high up, but the views from the top are truly beautiful and the history of the ruins are remarkable.
Matlock
Surrounded by attractions and centrally located to explore both the White and Dark Peaks, Matlock is a very popular town. Crown Square is a hub of boutiques and eateries, offering plenty of choice when it comes to buying gifts or heading out for lunch.
Ashbourne
Glorious architecture, quaint cobbles and a collection of independent boutiques combine to make Ashbourne an idyllic destination. Perfectly placed to explore the White Peaks, the plethora of historic buildings in the village offers a visually diverse array of architecture. The selection of family-run businesses sells a wide variety of clothes, antiques, food and drink, plus a weekly open-air market that's also a big hit.
Hathersage
A much-celebrated aspect of the village's past and present is its history of literary figures. Characters such as Robin Hood and Little John have strong connections to the area, whilst Charlotte Bronte also drew inspiration from Hathersage for her novel, Jane Eyre. Its location at the eastern end of Hope Valley makes the village popular with walkers, with plenty of stately homes and local shops that sell a variety of wares and lots of fresh produce.
Peak District Education
The Peak District is home to many very good schools, both public and private, which range in size from the large secondary schools of several hundred down to village schools where there can be only a few dozen children.
