Welcome, everybody, to the guide for the Peak District. Situated in the heart of England and covering parts of six counties, the Peak District is a place of outstanding natural beauty. It is just five miles from the Sheffield City Centre.
    A short break, or longer holiday, will allow you to explore some of England’s most spectacular scenery and in the towns, villages and hamlets—among the prettiest in the country—you will find a warm and genuine welcome wherever you go. Every taste is catered for and many exciting activities are available. Here are some highlights of the most popular places to visit. For the most active people, the following areas offer you excellent opportunities for walking, strolling, rock-climbing, caving, cycling, and hang-gliding.
    The first place I’d like to introduce to you is Bakewell. This beautiful little town is renowned for a certain local food—the famous Bakewell pudding. It’s very delicious and steeped in history. Bakewell’s oldest building dates back to Henry VII ’s reign. Just south of the town is the medieval Haddon Hall, a magnificent Tudor Manor House complete with gardens, the most romantic in England. On Sheffield’s doorstep lies the Palace of the Peak. Chatsworth is quite possibly the UK’s most stunning country house and a " must see" for any visitor. The magnificent ground alone—with their formal gardens, fountains and maze—is worth a visit. At the heart of the Peak District lies the Peak District National Park, the first of Britain’s National Parks, established in 1951, to safeguard and preserve this beautiful region.
