PEAK DISTRICT AND DERBYSHIRE

THE FEATURE

The Peak District with its rugged, heather clad moorlands in the north and much gentler dales in the south, is a great place to visit. Its picturesque market towns and pretty villages provide a wide range of accommodation, but if you prefer to stay in the heart of the countryside the choice is almost overwhelming.

If you intend to use the internet to book accommodation, unless you can very specifically select the area where you want to stay and the type of accommodation, you will be bombarded by a seemingly endless list of choices. In order to simplify matters you may wish to use the services of an agency, preferably one with local knowledge. Alternatively, you may find one of the locally based websites that provides graded information meets your requirements.
