The Peak District
The Peak District, the first and largest of Britain's National Parks, is a place of outstanding natural beauty. Just five miles from Sheffield city centre it couldn't be easier to get to. Landscapes range from the gentle, limestone dales of the White Peak to the rugged rocky outcrops and open moorland of the dark Peak. Vast caves, natural springs and stone villages are easily accessible from Sheffield.
Chatsworth is known as the 'Palace of the Peak' and is quite possibly the UK's most stunning country house and a 'must see' for any visitor. The magnificent grounds alone - with their fountains, formal gardens and maze - are worth the 25-minute scenic drive from Sheffield.
