Designated in 1951 as Britain’s first National Park, the Peak District offers a striking landscape of contrasts split cleanly between two distinct geological realms. To the north, the wild, heather-clad plateaus and peat bogs of the Dark Peak are anchored by legendary gritstone escarpments like Stanage Edge, Bamford Edge, and Derwent Edge. To the south, the rolling carboniferous terrain of the White Peak gives way to steep-sided limestone gorges, crystal-clear trout streams, and a patchwork of ancient drystone-walled farming dales.
Whether you're tackling the boulder-strewn cloughs of Kinder Scout and Bleaklow, traversing the sweeping heights of The Great Ridge between Mam Tor and Win Hill, or picking your way across the razor-sharp limestone crest of Chrome Hill, explore complete route logs, photographs, and field notes covering more than a decade of walking across the Peak District.
