The Peak District is home to a number of remarkable places, and as someone who lives on the edge of the national park and has spent plenty of time exploring the area, these are some of the very best to visit.
The list of spots that you need to explore over the autumn months can be found below – is there anywhere else that you think should be included?
5. Mam Tor
At over 500 metres, Mam Tor is certainly steep, but the amazing views over the Hope Valley are more than worth the effort if you’re visiting Derbyshire this autumn. Photo: Jason Chadwick
6. Eyam
Eyam certainly has a unique place in history. It is known as the plague village, after residents quarantined themselves to stop the spread of a plague outbreak in the 17th century. If you want to learn more about the Black Death, Eyam is the perfect place to start - with remnants of the area’s dark past dotted around the village. Photo: Brian Eyre
7. Winnats Pass
It isn’t hard to see why the remarkable Winnats Pass is among the most popular places for those exploring the Peak District - and I wholeheartedly recommend visiting over the coming weeks and months. Photo: jason chadwick
8. Bakewell among the best places to spend a day across the county - especially if you find yourself in the area over the autumn months.
Bakewell is home to the Rutland Arms, once acclaimed as ‘Derbyshire’s most famous inn’, which was built in 1804 - and can count Charles Dickens among its famous visitors over the years. It is also believed that Jane Austen wrote the literary classic 'Pride & Prejudice' whilst staying at The Rutland Arms - taking inspiration from the beauty of the Peak District.
