The Peak District: Sheffield and Manchester’s Convenient Getaway

Filed under: Universe Of Travel — November 11, 2009 @ 2:02 am

Placed handily between Manchester and Sheffield, the Peak District is an idyllic getaway from the pressures and tensions of metropolitan day-to-day living. If you hail from Sheffield or Manchester, it’s reachable in about an hour going by train or car and a wonderful pick for a weekend break. If you’re travelling from further away, we recommend you stay five or six days as there’s lots to discover and do in the Peak District.

Many holiday makers affiliate the Peak District with summer holidays, yet it’s scenic the entire year, and in no other area of the UK is the season’s change more emphasized than in the Peak area.

As remarked earlier, there’s lots to do in the Peak area. The idyllic hillsides entice travellers out of their cottages and onto long walks, and there’s lots of walks - up to thirty popular walks.

There’s also plenty of sites to go fishing in and around the Peak District, in particular the Ladybower expanse. Even if you’re not into physical activities, drive the car and visit Chatsworth House. At least a few hours at the house is recommended, the gardens in itself you can idle an hour or two in! Or travel to Buxton for something to eat in one of their many pubs, and a stroll in the pavilion gardens, or even the opera. Not to forget the villages in the Hope Valley that are lovely and well worth the visit.

How can one find a place to stay in the Peak District? We advise hiring a Peak District cottage. That way you have the seclusion of your own space, and the opportunity to relax with your friends and family in a cozy environment. The best place to find cottages is to use a search engine. Key in a term like weekend breaks in the Peak District and you are certain to discover plenty of possible accommodation options.
