With summer here, there is no better time to plan a trip across Derbyshire and the Peak District, and if you’re searching for inspiration, look no further than the places listed here.
I’ve discovered these beautiful spots while living in the area – and they are among the very best to explore over the coming weeks.

6. 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 - especially while the sun is shining. Photo: Jason Chadwick
7. New Mills
Visitors to this quirky High Peak town can stroll along the Millennium Walkway, which stretches over the River Goyt and takes you to the Torrs Riverside Park. After taking in the scenery, there are plenty of great places to eat and drink across the town - including A Tavola, Pride of the Peaks and Torr Vale Tap. Photo: Brian Eyre
8. Monsal Trail
The Monsal Trail runs between Wye Dale and Bakewell, offering the chance to take in some beautiful scenery along the way. Photo: jason chadwick
