Holiday Rentals and Lettings in the Peak District

Located between the major UK cities of Sheffield, Manchester, Leeds and Birmingham, the Peak District is easily reached from all areas of the UK. Packed with dramatic moorland, soaring hills, exquisite country estates and traditional British villages, it is the perfect location for those who are looking for a break in the peace and tranquillity of nature whilst also looking to have fun and adventurous days out.

For those looking for fun and challenging adrenaline-fuelled days, look no further than the Peak District! Go rock climbing in some of the UK’s most stunning surroundings, and atop a high cliff, survey all that is below. Or take the route into the cliff and explore Pooles Cavern with its crystal stalactites created over millions of years. For a more relaxing day, stroll through the house and gardens of Renishaw Hall, a grand residence overlooking an impressive lake with a spectacular fountain. If you love the outdoors, the Peak District is the ideal holiday destination for you!

The hiking routes in the Peak District are nothing short of spectacular. Look for local free maps available in the town or village that you’re staying in. Expect walks alongside bubbling streams, across wild moorland, down historic towpaths and near striking cliffs. See some of the UK’s wild and exciting countryside and get close to our fauna and flora. Stop at a welcoming pub en route and enjoy a pie and a pint – or whatever your tipple of choice is – typical Peak District fayre that is both nourishing and delicious!

The natural landscape of the Peak District makes it the perfect location for a wide range of outdoor adrenaline sports. Take hang gliding and paragliding, for instance. Peak Hang Gliding near Leek will meet you at a variety of amazing locations in the area, and get you flying over the landscape in no time, and Parapente Paragliding School will get you floating under canvas – bliss! If you want to keep your feet on some ground – if not the ground, maybe rock climbing is your sport and climbing in the Peak District is challenging and invigorating!

Soar high above the peaks in the cable car from the village of Matlock Bath, then explore the attractions at the top, from a tour of a cavern and mine to the historic park and gardens.

This important stately home now gives us an insight into how the British upper classes lived with its extraordinary house and delightful gardens, fountains and sculptures.

Ride the trams all day long and be transported back in time in the period village. Enjoy a meal in the restaurant and watch the WW2 reenactments of the Home Front service.

Available nowhere else in the world, freshly baked Bakewell Puddings are unique to the town of Bakewell. Different to the better-known Bakewell Tart, they are a delicacy that must not be missed!

Featuring some of the world’s most extreme coasters, the Alton Towers theme park and resort is a must-visit for those who like a good coaster! There’s plenty here for the whole family though, with CBeebies Land for the tiny ones, and the beautiful Alton Towers gardens for those seeking more tranquil environs.
