Peak District
The Peak District is an upland area in England at the southern end of the Pennines. Mostly in Derbyshire, it extends into Cheshire, Greater Manchester, Staffordshire, West Yorkshire and South Yorkshire. It includes the Dark Peak, where moorland is found and the geology is dominated by gritstone, and the White Peak, a limestone area with valleys and gorges. The Dark Peak forms an arc on the north, east and west sides; the White Peak covers central and southern tracts. The historic Peak District extends beyond the National Park, which excludes major towns, quarries and industrial areas. It became the first of the national parks of England and Wales in 1951.

The hidden corner of the Peak District
The Monsall trail and Monsall head is a perfect spot for all abilities of hikers and bikers in the Peak District. The flat 9 mile trail from Buxton to Bakewell is perfect for an easy bike ride (bike hire is available), especially considering many of the old train stations have been transformed in cafes and bars. For those looking for more of a challenge the surrounding hills provide that with fantastic views across the valley as a reward.

As I meandered through its cobbled streets, the scent of freshly baked tarts wafted from quaint bakeries. The River Wye flowed gently, mirroring the tranquility that enveloped this picturesque town.
Bakewell's centerpiece, the ancient stone bridge, stood as a silent witness to centuries past. Crossing over, I explored the nooks of charming shops offering handmade crafts and local delights. The allure of Bakewell Pudding beckoned, and I indulged in its melt-in-the-mouth goodness.
In the shadows of medieval architecture, time seemed to slow. Bakewell's beauty lies not just in its landscapes but in the warm smiles of locals who share tales of a place where tradition meets modernity. A day in Bakewell, a sweet escape into the heart of England's countryside allure.

🎉Aberdeen
Aberdeen is the third largest city in Scotland, both a port city and known as the Silver City, because the buildings in the old town of Aberdeen are constructed with granite and present a silver-white color, which is very different from other cities in the UK!
🎉Applecross
However, some people say that the name "Apple" in the place name actually means "Apple of My Eyes". The reason why this small town is famous is because one must pass through the highest road in the UK to get here. The scenery of lakes, mountains, and magnificent highlands along the way is like a series of paintings that linger in one's mind.
🎉Bakewell town
Located in the Peak District, there is a small town where the River Wye flows through the town center, with the ancient Five Arched Bridge on the river.

Foodies who like to explore can go to The Old Original Bakewell Pudding to taste the most authentic flavor.
🎉Isle of Wight
White Island, about 2 and a half hours by train from London, is perfect for weekend getaways. It is the sunniest island in the British Isles and also the most healing one.
🎉Loch Lomond on the east and west banks
Compared to the famous Loch Ness, Loch Lomond is relatively unknown, but in fact, Loch Lomond is the largest lake in Scotland and provides drinking water for the entire Scottish population. A quiet lake is like a princess ✍️, quietly waiting for everyone to discover 👁️ her beauty in the cool stream.
🎉Lundylsland Island
Lundy Island is the largest island in the Bristol Channel, about 19 kilometers offshore, with unique plant 🌳 and animal 🙈 communities. It is the first designated Marine Nature Reserve in the UK.

Between the bays are huge rocks, ancient castles, and every household facing the sea is in full bloom🌸. This town is also a great place for recuperation. It is said that the night view is unbeautiful, highly recommended.

Pedley Gorge Trail is a magical forest map that I accidentally saw when I was looking for a picture of the Peak District! Then I found it for a long time to find this hiking spot!
Into the woods, you can feel the full water in the air, the insects in the woods and the sound of the stream, the red wild fruits and mushrooms everywhere, and of course the warm sunshine that passes through the leaves. Full of fairy tales, and purify the soul ~ a perfect experience! Moreover, it is more beautiful in the autumn~
It is better to say that it is a lazy person who is suitable for me. It is a pity that there is no difficulty in walking. It is a pity that some beautiful scenery cannot be photographed by the camera. ! The beauty of this place, and the sensory experience it gives, definitely exceeds the "good-looking" picture! Only by being in it can you really appreciate ~
ps: Although the photos taken are not as good as the real half, it is especially suitable for pat! If you put a butterfly on the picture, it is probably a fairy tale painting hahaha!
Traffic: It is recommended to drive by car. This attraction is relatively small, and the bus can also go back and forth, but the time is not free~ so it is recommended to drive.
Address: Padley Gorge
Chatsworth House is not the Royal Palace, it is the mansion of the British "noble"! It used to be the location of "Pride and Prejudice" and the Darcy Manor in the movie!
Its owner is the Duke of Devon and his Duchess, who is said to have built this house with the heart of his life. Wandering here, the scenes in the movie float in front of the eyes, full of story sense ~
into the house, displaying a variety of atmospheric collection of art and decoration, from the hall, to the guest room, to the master room, to The hostess's beautiful wardrobe... All of them make me sigh that I can live so luxuriously...
Chatsworth House can bring a tutorial machine to slowly walk around, slowly listen to ~ will introduce many antiques, decorative stories and history !
.
Most like the evening, there will be actors wearing arrogance and prejudice movies to chat with the tourists to take pictures - full mouth of the British accent, one-on-one interpretation of their own role, so interesting ~
address: Bakewell DE45 1PP
In the British Peak District, rushing to the sunrise to find the end of the world ~ film "Pride and Prejudice" is also here to view, to give you easy to get the same angle of photography ~
this morning is exceptionally beautiful, the forest is foggy, grass Extraordinarily soft, the sun's light through the clouds to warm the mood ~
in fact, because of the geomorphological reasons, there are many similar "end of the world" ~ I am going to this piece is easier to "walk" Safety.
. Sitting on the stone, overlooking the forest from a height. The surrounding area is quiet except for the birds and insects. It seems that there is only the sound of the wind, as if I am the only one in the world... "The end of the world" It's just like this ~
Tips: more wear, the mountain is a bit cold
Address: Hope Valley S32 1BR
