DERBYSHIRE

Derbyshire is situated to the north east of the midlands of England. A large proportion of the County lies within the Peak District National Park.

The scenery is varied in Derbyshire, both dramatic and gentle, with the Pennine Hills and part of the National Forest within the County. 

The Derbyshire Dales are renowned for their beauty, lovely river valleys and fascinating caves, which were worked by the Romans for lead - today some are still quarried for limestone. 

The Peak district in the north of the County offers dramatic scenery, with high rocky crags rising from heather covered moorland. Edale in the heart of the region is the beginning of the Pennine Way. Walkers, potholers and climbers will appreciate the adventurous terrain of the Peak District.
