Holiday Lets and Cottages in the Peak District | Holiday Lets Buxton and GlossopThe Peak District is one of the most visited regions in the world, situated between the southern end of the Pennines and northern Derbyshire.
Much of the area is within the boundaries of Peak District National Park, which is thought to attract around 22 million visitors per year.
The Peaks are a perfect destination for those seeking to escape the vigours of everyday life and enjoy a relaxing break. It is a big destination for hikers and cyclists, with an abundance of footpaths, quiet rural lanes and unspoilt countryside to discover. At various dates throughout the year, walking festivals and events are staged for walkers of all abilities.
It isn’t just walking and cycling that is worthy of a mention. The food in the region is to be savoured, with fine home cooked dishes available across The Peaks. With the close proximity to Lancashire and Yorkshire, a variety of regional delicacies can be enjoyed, such as Lancashire hotpot or a good old Yorkshire roast. The region also has two food festivals, with Derbyshire Food and Drink Fair in the spring and Great Peak District Fair in the autumn.
There are a number of pretty quaint villages in the Peak District, which provide a perfect stop off point for a drink, something to eat or time to roam. Many of the villages boast traditional tea rooms, as well as pubs full of character and atmosphere. If you like shopping, then the villages and towns of the Peaks have an assorted range of shops for all interests and hobbies. Forget all your high street brands, the Peaks give you handmade British products made by individuals from the region. You can find art and craft, pottery and antique shops alongside independent organic butchers and bakers.
The Peak District is ideally located for visitors from all over the UK, as it is easily accessible from Leeds, Sheffield, Nottingham and Manchester.
