Peak District

Although it is around 250 miles from where we live to England’s first National Park, I always feel at home when I arrive. The Peak District has many similarities to Dartmoor in my opinion; the same rolling nature to the landscape, the same heather moorlands and even the rocky outcrops known as tors. It’s not just the landscape here that I love, the buildings have a solid nature to them, and they ooze character.
