Holidays in the Peak District - Peak District Holiday Guide

Welcome to the Peak District Holiday Guide. With a fantastic choice of exciting attractions and plenty of events, the Peak District is a perfect holiday destination to visit at any time of the year. Using the Peak District Holiday Guide, it is as easy to organise your perfect stay in the Peak District National Park.

Visit the towns of Bakewell, Buxton, Castleton, Derby or Chesterfield for some excellent shopping , a meal, a museum or other attraction or better still stay the night and get a real flavour of the place. There are hundreds of small villages, full of history and quaint country pubs, which will provide you with a very warm welcome.

Visit the Peak District at any time of the year. During spring, daffodills , frolicking lambs and new growth give a real sense of awakening throughout the region. In summer, people flock to the Peak District and sunny memories of a dip in the water and ice creams at Dovedale can last a lifetime but it is also possible to escape the crowds. Autumn's celebration of colour makes this a favourite season for many with shades of red, brown, yellow and gold offering a romantic backdrop for a short break. In winter, the hills take on a new character under a fresh blanket of snow.
