  • The Ultimate Peak District & Derbyshire Bucket List
    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.

  • Cycling in the Peak District
    CYCLING IN THE PEAK DISTRICT About the Author Chiz Dakin’s cycle touring adventures almost happened by accident, when after a local photography trip by bike she realised that she’d done 50 miles in a single day with a reasonably heavy load. This led to the disconnected logic that if she could do that once, she was now ready to tackle multi-day cycle touring, and two weeks later set out on the Land’s End to John o’ Groats route. Since then she’s done several other multi-day trips including a pio- neering Welsh coast cycle route (600 miles and 16km of ascent) but still maintains that you don’t need to be seriously fit or fast to enjoy long multi- day routes. (She certainly makes no claim to being either!) She has pre- viously won an Outdoor Writers and Photographers Guild award for her photography.
