The Peak District is located in North Derbyshire and is a landscape of moor-land and green valleys. Peak District holiday cottages lie in some of the most attractive countryside found in the United Kingdom. Rocky crags rise up from heather moors, punctuated by wooded dales and pastures. See this celebrated region for yourself by visiting the rental agent below which provides a range of Peak District Cottages.
The Peak District National Park forms a large part of the region, covering over 500 square miles. This is where the Pennine Way begins, a 250 mile track that runs along the Pennine Chain towards the Scottish Border. It is also 'adventure country', perfect for walking, hiking and climbing. The Castleton and Hope Valleys also provide the opportunity for pot holing with a large network of underground caves and tunnels in the area.
Towns worth seeing include Glossop,
Matlock and Buxton The latter, a spa town is considered by many to rival Bath with its beautiful Crescent and hot spring. Its history dates back to Roman times and the mineral water company Buxton was founded here.
One can also find a plethora of hamlets dotted around. Baslow is a good example, with its stone bridge, as well as the neighbouring village of Bubnell. The nearby Abney is typical of Derbyshire, surrounded by wild, rugged moor-land country. Book your Peak District holiday cottages/self catering holidays in the Peak District below.
