"The Peak District National Park is a beautiful countryside area with two main parts, the Dark Peak and White Peak."
"Peak District National Park is a gem of the English Countryside."
"The views are amazing, an area of natural beauty for all to enjoy and free."
"Amazing scenery, one of England's most beautiful places."
"Beautiful, green, expansive landscape."
"The most wonderful scenic views and every outdoor activity you can find."
"The park's diverse wildlife and stunning vistas provide unforgettable experiences."
Cons:
"Just beware of horseflies in mid-June. They’re everywhere and made it uncomfortable at times."
"However, there is a disadvantage of the place, there is no signal in the area."
"The Peak District is exceptionally popular, too popular for its own good. Footpaths can be crowded on sunny Sundays."
"On the mountains you won't get a phone signal until you reach certain points."
"It's very out in the open if the weather is bad or not sunny."
"The only downside (aside from the group of weed smokers near a waterfall we wanted to see) was that we initially missed the turn to stay on the trail we had chosen as it was quite overgrown and not well trodden."
"The ever-changing scenery is wonderful at ANY time of the year but can be extremely dangerous in the winter when heavily falling snow, freezing fog or rain and ice can make driving conditions very dangerous."
Activities and Accessibility
Pros:
"Great local pubs serving to class food, great walks albeit a few tough tracks for maybe the elderly or infirm."
"The shops are surprisingly modern in Edale."
"The Peak District is phenomenal, if you're into walking or are 'outdoorsy'."
"Lovely walk to Thor's cave, very muddy and steep with a very steep slippery section, be careful when wet as cave and sections of path very slippery."
"Great place to visit if you enjoy climbing or caving, though if you cycle it with Google maps I'd stick to car routes as the cycle routes can be tricky to navigate."
"Walk along the river Dove. Some steep climbs but the amazing views are well worth it."
"Beautiful hiking area. So many options!"
Cons:
"Wasn't really anywhere to get food or anywhere to use the toilet so bear this in mind when you go especially if you come by public transport."
"There are no bins in the park so be prepared to take your rubbish home."
"Parking is not great but if you get there early you should find a space."
"Some people drive like psychopaths around the sharp bends and narrow roads and get frustrated with more careful drivers."
"Don't park on any part of the road that isn't marked up for parking. The parking enforcement team was out in force and loads of people got tickets."
"Parking can be a little tricky at peak times due to its popularity."
"Theres no food store on anything you need to take food with you."
Accommodation and Facilities
Pros:
"I'm lucky to have the Peaks on my doorstep."

"Walks to suit all including access for disabled on some paths."
"Lots of lovely quaint pubs, caravan parks and places to stay so you'll have options."
Cons:
"It's so amazing I moved here, love all the cycling and walking but not so much cleaning up after tourists, please don't come here..."
"However, accessibility and popularity can lead to crowded spots, affecting the tranquility sought by some visitors."
"Really gorgeous place... The parking was free. There are no toilets were we parked by the reservoir."
"Parking is great but alot of time the pay machines don't work and there is no phone number to ring to sort it out."
"Went here as was stated by some fool on TikTok that was for all abilities it’s not if you are a disabled person."
"I wouldn’t recommend it it’s difficult I didn’t even make half way round."
"Parking is£1.00 for 1-2 hours,£2.00 for 2-4 hours and £4.00 for all today."
