Derbyshire and the Peak District offer something for everyone – from historic villages and scenic viewpoints to award-winning attractions.
We asked Derbyshire Times readers where they would take a friend of theirs who has never visited the area – and compiled a list of their responses.
The full list can be found below, and the places are not ranked in any order – will you be visiting any of them during 2025?
