Where to Find Us
The Local Area
Good to Know
Known as the backbone of England the Peak District National Park, covering an area of 542 square miles of some of the most stark and breath-taking landscapes to be found anywhere within the British Isles.
This landscape had already undergone many transformations before the dawn of civilization and has undergone many more since the advent of people, whose influence upon it can be traced back thousands of years. Many hilltops are the sites of ancient burial mounds and the conical shapes of tumbled cairns can be seen throughout the area. A network of dry-stone walls pattern this ancient landscape. Currently many moorland sheep graze the upland meadows and dale-sides, but work has started to keep them off the fragile vegetation and allow the many species of plants and animals that are unique to the locality to recover and thrive once more.
