Peak District Holidays

When deciding on Peak District holidays, UK visitors have a huge selection of destinations, attractions and outdoor activities from which to choose. The oldest national park in the UK, Peak District holidays have some of the most dramatic scenery in the country. From the wild and windy gritstone landscape of the Dark Peak to the rivers and dales of the limestone White Peak, there is something for everyone on a beautiful Peak District holiday.

In the centre of the Peak District lies Chatsworth House - the jewel in the Peak's crown. Every UK visitor on a Peak District holiday should visit Chatsworth, set in 1,000 acres of parkland with one of the UK's largest and most popular gardens, it is easy to spend a whole day touring Chatsworth House, its gardens and park. Red deer wander through the fields and woods whilst sheep graze on the many acres of grassland making a Peak District holiday a delightful change to the UK's current propensity for theme parks and over-commercialised destinations.

The house itself contains a unique collection of art, antiques and architectural delights - for a small fee you can wander through the state rooms, staircases and galleries making a genteel refreshing change to the normal Peak District holidays. UK holidaymakers, indeed visitors from all over the world have made Chatsworth a vital part of any UK holiday.

However, if your taste is a little more adventurous, a holiday in the UK's Peak District might involve rock climbing, caving or sailing. If you prefer a "hands on" holiday with lots to do the Peak District holiday has it all.
