Peak Connections is all about getting everyone to think about how they travel around the Peak District National Park and the wider Peak District & Derbyshire area, and considering how we can travel in a more sustainable manner.

 

One of the most effective ways we can use public transport is during our leisure time when there's more time on our side. What could be better than letting someone else take over the driving and hassle of parking, while you sit back, relax and enjoy the stunning scenery?

 

Peak Connections aims to make using public transport as easy as possible so you can leave the car behind. There are lots of ideas and information on these pages to show you just how easy it is to travel by bus or train to see many of the spectacular sights or visit the great attractions of the area.

 

 

The Peak Connections Guides are ready-made 'days out' itineraries for bus or rail travel to and around the Peak District. 

 

Full details of each guide, together with a downloadable pdf of each, can be found on the Peak Connections Guides page and printed copies of some of the guides are also available free of charge from Peak District Tourist Information Centres.

 

Many of the guides give discounted entry to top attractions for visitors arriving by bus - simply cut out the voucher in the guide and present it at the admission point, accompanied by a bus ticket for the day of the visit. Please see the individual guides for participating locations.

 

 

Peak Connections is a partnership project that provides 'days out' information for bus and train travel to the Peak District from the surrounding areas. The Peak Connections Guides are designed to help visitors get the most out of their visit without the need for a car, helping them preserve and protect the unique and special environment of the Peak District and National Park.
