North Peak District
This trip explores the North Peaks, otherwise known as “the Dark Peak”.
We will spend a couple of hours in the morning at the picturesque Ladybower Reservoir, a photo opportunity and time for a walk. Then onto the famously pretty village of Castleton known as “the gem of the Peaks”. You will have time here to have lunch and a look around before you end the day with a tour of Treak Cliff Cavern, famous for its blue john semi precious stone, unique to this area. The cavern houses some of the most beautiful cave formations. Websites: peakdistrict.gov.uk, bluejohnstone.com, castleton.co.uk, visitpeakdistrict.com
