Mothers Day

With Mother’s Day just around the corner there’s no place more ideal than the Peak District and Derbyshire for a short break or day out to treat your mum. Whether she deserves a weekend of tranquillity, stunning views and being wined and dined or she’s craving a thrill and embraces being outdoors and having a mini adventure, our region has it all to offer. 

If you’re looking for ideas and inspiration for Mother’s Day then you’ve come to the right place! Here at the Peak District and Derbyshire, we’re best known for our beautiful landscapes and stunning scenery. Your mum will fall in love (if she hasn’t already) with the views and you’ll give her a Mother’s Day to remember with hopefully lots of photo opportunities to seal those special memories.

Try a walk in Castleton; the aptly named Mam Tor (or Mother Hill) is one of the most popular and you can treat her to a hearty meal or perhaps some Blue John jewellery afterwards in the village. If she’s already conquered Mam Tor, why not try a new walk? You can find more Peak District and Derbyshire walks here.

Perhaps your mum is such a special lady that she needs to be treated like royalty for the day. Well thankfully the Peak District and Derbyshire can make sure this happens! Why not treat her to a day at one of our historic buildings, fit for a Queen? Try Hardwick Hall, Bolsover Castle or Lyme Park 

If your mother is in need of a bit of retail therapy, we have plenty of towns and villages with something to offer. Bakewell, Buxton and Matlock are lined with great little shops or you could try the Peak Shopping Village too.

Once she’s all shopped-out, what Mother’s Day would be complete without a delicious meal that your mum hasn’t had to cook? Our region is home to a variety of great restaurants, cafes and bars, with the majority of them using locally sourced produce making the meals that extra bit tasty.
