    The Ultimate Peak District & Derbyshire Bucket List: 101 Great Things To Do 1. Embrace the great outdoors in the UK’s first National Park Established in 1951, the Peak District is the country’s oldest National Park. 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. Discover over 30 magnificent rooms, a 105-acre garden, parkland, a farmyard and playground, and one of Britain’s best farm shops. 3. 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.

REFERENCES 32 Acknowledgements The organisers are grateful to: The British Geological Survey for Figures 2 and 19, Maurice Gregory for permission to visit Eldon Hill Quarry, John Harrison for permission to visit Peak Cavern, and Peter Harrison for permission to visit Russet Well. Cover photographs A common perception of the Peak District karst hydrogeology is that it is dominated by sinking streams that feed caves which in turn discharge substantial flows of water from large springs such as Peak Cavern Rising (left). However, over much of the area where limestones crop out there is only dispersed autogenic recharge through a soil cover and surprisingly little evidence of karstic drainage, particularly at depth. During the excavation of stone from Ballidon Quarry in the southern White Peak no caves were encountered and the 100m of limestone exposure (right) shows only an epikarst below which there are no visible conduits and nothing to suggest concentrated drainage.
