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.

STATELY HOME VACATIONS Behind the Scenes at Some of Derbyshire’S Grandest Houses
STATELY HOME VACATIONS Behind the scenes at some of Derbyshire’s grandest houses. (The Sunday Telegraph, 2008) ‘I’ve spoken to Richard,’ said the voice on the telephone, ‘and he says he can find you a bedroom in the house which isn’t haunted. I’m sure you’ll be all right.’ The house in question was Tissington Hall, a splendid Derbyshire manor which celebrates its 400th birthday next year; my host, Sir Richard FitzHerbert Bt. Quite how many of his deceased ancestors were also in residence was something, I decided, I would prefer not to know until dawn had peeped cheerfully in through my leaded window. Tissington is one of a dozen grand residences on the books of Stately Homes Vacations, a company which promises ‘a real insight into the life of an English country house and those who live in it’. To this end, its proprietors – a pair of urbane Old Etonians called Charlie Hurt and Mark Chichester- Clark – have persuaded seigneurs and chatelaines to provide their clientele with personal guided tours, dinner in candelabra’d splendour and accommodation in ancestral bedrooms. Lovers of P.G. Wodehouse should be like the Empress of Blandings in clover. At present the company is focussing exclusively on Derbyshire. ‘It’s an extraordinary county,’ says Hurt, ‘because although not very big it has an amazing wealth of houses of all styles, from the mediaeval gem of Haddon Hall to the Palladian grandeur of Chatsworth. Our aim is to stress the cultural side of them, for people who are really interested in the evolution of the country house.’ The pair are well qualified.

The eastern parts are strongly influenced by settled areas to the east associated with the urban centres of Chesterfield and Sheffield. There is particular association with the historical coal mining and iron making industries of the settlements. The region has a distinctly undulating topography and contains the upper part of the River Dove. 2 Landscape Strategy and Action Plan Peak District National Park Authority 6: Derbyshire Peak Fringe pedunculate and sessile oaks along with a hybrid of the two.
