r/peakdistrict

I'll be staying in Buxton for 3 days and was hoping to spend those 3 days doing hikes around the area. Looking for 10-15 km hikes that is easy to navigate.

If anyone has recommendations, especially route links, would appreciate it.

Hi everyone. I've been doing a lot of family tree research lately and I've found that I have a lot of connections to the Peak District, particularly the village of Edale. I'd like to drive down and visit (about 1 + 1/2 hour drive). I know Edale is a very popular village and can get busy (especially on weekends which I will avoid) so does anyone know a week day when it's quieter? I'd like to be able to walk around and soak up the atmosphere without lots of people around. Thanks.

Hi everyone!

My wife and I will be relocating to be nearer to family in Derby and have decided the Peak District would be a perfect area to move to (we love the outdoors and getting out for a hike). I thought I'd see if Reddit could be of help in suggesting any nice towns/villages to focus on!

We'd be looking at the south of the Peaks within roughly 45 mins of Derby. Our initial search radius goes from Belper up to Bakewell, across to Leak and back down through to Ashbourne.

We're mid-30's and don't have kids (not planning to either) and we are looking for places that have a nice vibe to them, good places to eat/drink, nice community, etc. and aren't too far a drive in to derby so we can see family pretty frequently.

We've been looking at the places that I mentioned but if there are any nice little villages that'd tick the box then please let me know!

We'll be doing some reconnaissance later this year to decide where we'd like to end up, so I'll be putting a list of places to look at.

Thanks for any help/guidance in advance!

I cant decide which one to do tomorrow, the google images look more interesting for Manifold Way?

Hello! Me and my boyfriend will be driving up to York in a few weeks’ time and thought we’d do a mini detour to the Peak District. I’ve never been and as an immigrant my knowledge is limited.

Where would you recommend as a one night stop? We like nice pubs, history, good food. Pretty easy to please. I’ve been to Derby and was told to go back to my own country, so perhaps not that one but otherwise open to suggestions!

me and my friends are going to be doing Duke of Edinburgh Silver this following Wednesday and we are all a bit scared of the terrain in the Peak District and wanted to ask a few questions:

1. How likely is it to actually fall of the peaks(?) or cliff edges?? I’m not sure what you call them..
2. Are the pathways clear?
3. Is it scary?
4. Is it difficult to do?

I’m really sorry if these sound so dumb 😭😭 THANK YOU

Edit: all my thanks to the people that have answered my questions!! It was really helpful and it 100% calmed our nerves THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN
