Weekend Breaks in Northern England: Hope Valley and the Peak District
Placed handily between Sheffield and Manchester, the Peak District is a perfect getaway from the pressure of town and city day to day life. If you’re from Manchester or Sheffield, it’s reachable in about an hour going by car or train and a fantastic location for a weekend break. If you’re travelling from a place further away, we advise you can stay in the Peak District for about a week since there’s a lot to discover and do in the Peak District.
A good number of people connect the Peak area with the summer period, yet it’s scenic the entire year, and nowhere are the four seasons more emphasised than in the Peak District.
As highlighted previously, there’s a great deal you can do in the Peak area. The lovely hillsides entice holiday makers out of their travel accommodation and into their walking boots, and there’s lots of trails to walk - up to 30 well tramped walks.
To add to that, there’s also lots of places to go fishing in and around the Peak District, especially the Ladybower area. If you’re not into physical activities, try Buxton for lunch and a stroll in their pavilion gardens, or even the opera (yes, Buxton has its own Opera house). Lastly the Castleton and Hathersage in the Hope Valley that are lovely.
How can one find accommodation in the Peak District? We advocate renting a Peak District cottage. That way you have the privacy of your own place, and the chance to chill out with your family in a comfy surrounding. The best place to find cottages is to use a search engine. Use a keyphrase like places to stay in the Peak District and one is certain to discover a good deal of potential choices.
