Just because it’s lower-down on our list doesn’t mean the Peak District isn’t worth a visit. Thanks to its more central location, it’s far easier to access than the Lake District, and still provides some of the most stunning landscapes in the country.
Towering hills, quaint villages, stunning hiking trails, thick forests, and shimmering lakes all litter the landscape in this national park.
When you’re visiting, be sure to check out Castleton. The small village is one of many in the Peak District, but provides some great amenities, as well as a great base-camp for day hikes.
A late summer evening walking back from the pub in the Peak District is really an experience like no other. The charm of this region really can’t be expressed in words.
