The Peak District is an area of incredible natural beauty, and a major draw for tourism in Derbyshire. It was the first place in the UK to be designated as a national park, and rightly so, offering miles and miles of undulating hills. For those wishing to enjoy the Peak District to its fullest, there are some lovely villages to stay in within or nearby the park boundaries, such as Bakewell and Buxton.

Ashbourne sits on the southern edge of the Peak District, and is known as the ‘Gateway to Dovedale’, a National Trust site and walking area. Near this, outside the village of Thorpe, sits Thorpe Cloud. This is a walkable hill, which rewards you with attractive views from the top. However, this is only a little bit of the hundreds of miles of countryside that make up the Peak District.
