THE PEAK EXPERIENCE

Smell the scent of wildflower meadows in spring, see ornately sculptured flower well dressings in summer, listen for the eerie creak of floorboards outside your hotel room at Hallowe'en, savour the tastes of local food whose production shapes our landscape and feel the texture of rocks made over 350 million years ago...

YOU'VE ARRIVED

Here you can be anything from an intrepid explorer to a film buff, a young adventurer to a culture vulture.

SEE

See jaw dropping views, Hollywood film locations, classic country houses, glorious gardens, vibrant towns and pretty villages.

FEEL

Feel alive in wide open spaces. Get close to nature on rugged moors, rolling dales, lush meadows and leafy forests.

HEAR

Hear the sounds world-class music festivals and exciting night life, or the sweet sound of silence.

SMELL

Smell the tang of fresh air, the scent of wild flowers and enjoy a mind-blowing blast of freedom.

TASTE

Taste the award winning and locally sourced food and drink - and all the finer things in life.

I live in Cheshire , and the Peak District and Derbyshire is the perfect place for regular ‘escapes’, right on my doorstep
