Embrace the great outdoors in the UK’s first National Park Established in 1951, the Peak District is the country’s oldest National Park.

Conquer the tallest ‘Peak’ in the Peak District At 636 metres above sea level, you’ll feel like you’re standing on top of the world when you conquer the Kinder Scout plateau. It’s the highest point in the National Park and was also the site of the 1932 Mass Trespass, a landmark event which sparked a debate about the right to roam in the countryside, leading to the establishment of the Peak District as the first National Park two decades later. 4. Discover the UK’s oldest Ice Age cave art at Creswell Crags Walk in the footsteps of Ice Age hunters, uncover the secrets of early man, discover incredible Ice Age cave art and marvel at the UK’s largest discovery of ritual protection marks at this picturesque limestone gorge on the Derbyshire/Nottinghamshire border. 5.

  • Walking the Derbyshire Three Peaks in One Day Is a Great Challenge and a Must-Do on Many People’S Tick List
    Walking the Derbyshire Three Peaks in one day is a great challenge and a must-do on many people’s tick list The generally accepted definition of a mountain in England and Wales is over 2000ft (610m) with over 50ft (15m) prominence, as first proposed by John and Anne Nuttall in their two volume series ‘The Mountains of England and Wales’. By this classification there are three mountains in the Peak District National Park, namely Kinder Scout, Bleaklow Head and Higher Shelf Stones. Furthermore, it is possible to combine a visit to all three of these within a single 20 mile walk. Hence, the Derbyshire Three Peaks Challenge was born. Our winning formula for getting challengers through the day is to guide a small group and make it a friendly occasion with plenty of encouragement on tap, whether it’s in the form of handing out jelly babies or simply a timely: ‘you can do it’! Therefore if you’re after a toughie, either as a fundraising charity event or for your own personal goal- setting reasons, then read on! Three great peaks and 20 miles walking in 10 hours…. Right, let’s get things straight from the start – this is no ‘walk in the park’ (well actually it is as we’re in the Peak District National Park) but it’s a toughie and demands a reasonably early start. However, the reward for that early start is the chance to hike through stunning scenery and enjoy a full day in the company of a small bunch of fellow challengers, while achieving something that many people will frankly think you’re a bit bonkers for doing.

  • National Park Management Plan 2018-2023
    Peak District National Park Management Plan 2018-23 National Park Management Plan Peak District National Park Authority, Aldern House Baslow Road, Bakewell, DE45 1AE tel: 01629 816200 email: [email protected] www.peakdistrict.gov.uk 2 Peak District National Park Management Plan 2018-23 Foreword The Peak District National Park plays a special role well beyond its borders. It is of international, national, regional, and local importance. As well as providing a breathing space and opportunities for learning, discovery and enjoyment for millions of people, the designation of National Parks is because of their spectacular landscapes, wildlife and cultural heritage - the ‘special qualities’ that make them so important. The management plan is a framework that aims to encourage everyone to work together to conserve and enhance the special qualities for the benefit of all. It is not a plan for an individual organisation or group but a plan for the place. It is, therefore, a partnership plan. It describes for everyone what the main issues and priorities are. It then sets out how, together, we are going to tackle those issues over the next five years. One of the great successes of the previous management plan was that it brought together a diverse range of stakeholders who delivered some amazing work. These included restoring thousands of hectares of important habitat, introducing new audiences to the Peak District National Park, helping local communities to deliver essential services and assisting businesses to grow sustainably. During this management plan period fresh challenges have emerged through the nation’s pending departure from the European Union alongside developing ideas in how we should manage protected landscapes.
