You could never accuse the Peak District of lacking variety. Covering both Britain’s oldest National Park and the broader region around it, it ranges across five counties (Derbyshire, Cheshire, Staffordshire, Yorkshire and Greater Manchester) and packs in an impressive range of landscapes, from the moody moorlands and dramatic ridges of the Dark Peak to the scenic dales and pretty villages of the White Peak.
Your sightseeing can be as rugged or relaxed as you like: lace up your boots and pack a picnic for a hike across the hills or enjoy a pootle around stately homes and tea rooms. Round off the day with a stay at one of the region’s cosy country inns, more relaxed than a hotel but offering all the same creature comforts. Roaring fires and riverside gardens, superior pub grub and fine local brews; characterful rooms and swish bathrooms – you’ll find them all, along with lashings of character, at the best pubs with rooms in the Peak District.
