- self-guided hotel-to-hotel walking, luggage transported
- panoramic gritstone ‘edges’
- chance to visit famous Chatsworth House
- stay in two typical Peak towns
The Peak District was Britain’s first National Park and is, arguably, still the best, worthy of its status as the most popular. Within its boundaries lies a varied landscape where grand country houses and neat villages occupy lush valleys, while craggy edges mark the beginning of open heather moorland.
Leaving behind the less forbidding crags and undulations of the Derwent Valley, we climbed Win Hill with views of Ladybower Reservoir on one side, Hope Valley on the other, and the higher, bleaker moors of Mam Tor and Edale ahead.

Linking two market towns typical of the area, Hathersage and Castleton, this walk allows you to discover the very essence of ‘the Peak’. Over the three days of walking, you cross very diverse terrain, including the banks of the River Derwent, heather-clad moorland, panoramic gritstone edges and fertile farmland.
