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 your mum deserves a weekend of tranquillity, stunning views and delicious food and drink, or adventure in the great outdoors, our region has it all. 

If you’re looking for ideas and inspiration for Mother’s Day, then you’ve come to the right place! Here in the Peak District and Derbyshire, we’re best known for our beautiful landscapes and stunning scenery that provide the perfect backdrop to a day out to remember.

Try a walk in Castleton; the aptly named Mam Tor (or Mother Hill) is one of the most popular and you can treat your mum to a hearty meal or perhaps some Blue John jewellery afterwards. Or how about a new walk that you've never tried before? You can find more Peak District and Derbyshire walks here.

Perhaps you'd like to treat your mum like royalty for the day. Look no further than the Peak District and Derbyshire to make sure this happens! Why not treat her to a day at one of our historic buildings, fit for a Queen? Try Chatsworth House, Hardwick Hall, or Bolsover Castle.

If your mother is in need of a bit of retail therapy, we have plenty of towns and villages with something to offer. The market towns of Bakewell, Buxton and Matlock are lined with great independent shops selling everything from food and drink to furniture, clothes and gifts.

After a day spent exploring, what Mother’s Day would be complete without a delicious meal? 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. Find great local places to eat and drink here.
