Going on holiday in Peak District

The Peak District is a delightful national park all year round. Perks change with the seasons, offering everything from isolated hilltops to flourishing markets. Summer is the most popular period to visit, particularly during school holidays (late July to August). The weather is at its warmest, but iconic attractions, like Chatsworth House, can get very crowded. Accommodation prices also tend to rise with less availability. To avoid the footfall, visit during June and September when the weather is equally special. Spring is a preferable period for hikers, offering mild to warm weather to enjoy the scenic surroundings. Winter brings ethereal views but cold and wet weather. Wrap up warm and visit the region's fine historic towns and welcoming, warming pubs.
