If you love the outdoors, this protected area of natural beauty - which covers 555 square miles in total - offers over 200 square miles of stunning open access land to explore. 2. Visit the ‘jewel in the Peak District’s crown’ at Chatsworth House Home to the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, Chatsworth is one of the UK’s favourite stately homes.
