Derbyshire
Derbyshire is a scenic county in the East Midlands of England which has inspired many writers to share their personal travel stories and places of interest.
The Peak District National Park covers a large area of the county with cycling trails and walking opportunities as well as hills and valleys to explore.
Hiking trails vary from those on the easier side to more difficult levels of accessibility and ability. One of the better-known elevations is the beautiful and rugged Kinder Scout Plateau where the views are stunning and the scenery is rough and rocky. If easier paths and more genteel places are more your pace, then Hope Valley and Castleton may be of interest to you. There’s even more history to discover at Peveril Castle at Cave Dale, and the county offers idyllic villages and great walking, along with blue John Jewelry and old English pubs.
The Derbyshire Dales is another large area of natural beauty, and is a stunning place for walks and views, where stone walled fields and history combine with myths and legends to intrigue and inspire adventure for great days out.
