The Peak District
OK, so sunshine isn't guaranteed in the Peaks - but when the weather is fine, you can't beat the views, the outdoor pursuits and the atmosphere. Stay in one of the many converted barns, boutique hotels or B&Bs, and enjoy walking, climbing, cycling, outdoor swimming, riding, or a spa in Buxton. Enjoy the eponymous baked treat in Bakewell, ride the cable car in Matlock, and visit the famous crooked spire church in the market town of Chesterfield. Don't forget to enjoy a cream tea at Chatsworth House!
