Peak Connections

 
 
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.
