The Peaks
The Peak District, sometimes known as the peaks or the Peaks, is a mountainous region in North West England. The region is mostly rural and extremely beautiful, with the view at night looking like something out of a fantasy movie. Here, you can hike the trails, go camping by the lake, go bouldering in the rocky hillsides, or simply go fishing in a peaceful pond. It's truly a vacation worth taking if you want to get away from everything. Exploring nearby villages also makes a lovely addition to exploring this part of the country.

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.

🌲Embracing Nature's Canvas Peak District 🏞️
#fallingseason Venturing into the heart of Peak District National Park, I embarked on a journey through nature's masterpiece. Among rolling hills and heather-clad moors, I discovered the true essence of wilderness. The sweet melody of birds echoed through ancient woodlands, where centuries-old trees whispered tales of time gone by. Hiking along rugged trails, I was greeted by panoramic vistas that stole my breath away. In quaint villages, friendly smiles welcomed me, and hearty meals satisfied my appetite after a day of exploration. As the sun dipped below the horizon, the night sky lit up with a myriad of stars, painting a picture of infinite beauty. Peak District, a symphony of landscapes, left an indelible mark on my soul.

📍Peak District - Bamford Edge and Strange Edge Circular
⏰Duration: 4 hours
🚆Public Transport from Manchester: ✔️
Train station: Bamford
Route: Bamford Train > The Clough > Strange Edge > Bamford Edge > Heatherdene > Bamford Train
Difficulty: 3/5
Apps: All Trials
On the way you will take lots of stunning pictures especially when it is good weather. This time I am hike with All Trials Apps, it’s really good but still need to make sure at every point is match and don’t get lost and don’t go other routes.
I go for this route just because it is from the review in All Trials and they said in the anti-clockwise would be more comfortable than clockwise. It would be the case in fact. But clockwise would still be a good choice if you want to challenge yourself.
I need 4 hours to complete this route because i go there by public transport, if go by car it can save more time haha.
⭐️This time I need to take replacement bus from Hope to Bamford
⭐️Dogs friendly
⭐️Not recommend to go in rainy day
⭐️Remember to wear hiking shoes and bring enough water

📍Buxton - Poole’s Cavern - Solomon’s Temple - Buxton
⏰Duration: 1.5 hours (including time to take video and photo)
🚆Public Transport from Manchester: ✔️
From Manchester Piccadilly station to Buxton Station
Route:
Buxton > Pavilion Gardens > Poole’s Cavern > Grin Wood > Solomon’s Temple > Poole’s Cavern > Pavilion Gardens > Buxton
Difficulty: 2/5
I have downloaded the offline map in All Trial (Solomon’s Temple and Pooles Cavern Circular). However I only follow the first part of the route, I start my route in Poole’s Cavern, then get to Solomon’s Temple via Grin Wood and then just back to Poole’s Cavern and same way back to the train station.
I found this route is pretty easy, and it is suitable to walk with little kids and pets. The view from Solomon’s temple is amazing. I am pretty sure you can take a lot of nice picture here.
Also, during the route, you will found a lot of information board with the explanation of the history and the animals. It just take me 1.5 hours to finish it, it is a relatively easy walk and I will highly recommend it!
⭐️Be careful of the muddy road
⭐️Dogs friendly
⭐️Remember to wear hiking shoes and bring enough water

🇬🇧
📍Ladybower Reservoir - Derwent Edge - Lost Lad - Back Tor
⏰Duration: 5 hours (including time to take video and photo)
🚆Public Transport from Manchester: ✔️
From Mamchester Piccadailly
To Bamford Train Station
Optional: Can choose walk to Ladybower Reservoir / Take H1 / 258 bus
Route I tried:
Ladybower Reservoir > Derwent Edge > Lost Lad > Back Tor > Ladybower Reservoir
Difficulty: 3/5
Apps: All Trials
I have tried the route in All Trials - Ladybower Reservoir and Derwent Edge, It is marked as Hard level, but i think it is not that hard, i will rate it as moderate level.
At first, it is simple and easy, many people take simple walk with children/elderly/pets. Also, some cyclist practising in the route.
After that when i go up, it is little bit steep and rocky, remember to have your hiking shoes with you. You will see very beautiful purple view.
Also, during this route, the direction is very clear and you will clearly know which is your route and follow it. You can also see many different special rocks and take picture with them:)
⭐️Be careful of the steep road in Jacobs Ladder
⭐️Dogs friendly
⭐️Suitable for mountain biking
⭐️Remember to wear hiking shoes and bring enough water

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.

Lena..
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
