If you’re planning a day trip over the coming weeks, these are some of the best spots to explore across Derbyshire and the Peak District.
These scenic towns and villages are among the most picturesque in the area - and should feature at the top of your list if you find yourself in Derbyshire this autumn.

26. Grindleford
Grindleford is perfect for anyone wanting to combine stunning scenery and fascinating history. Walkers can follow Padley Gorge up onto the moors, before taking in the scenery at Surprise View and looping back round to Grindleford Station. The walk can also be combined with a visit to Padley Chapel, a Grade I listed building located at the site where the ‘Padley Martyrs’ - two Catholic priests who were executed for treason - were discovered in 1588.
