The Peak District National Park
The Peak District National Park encompasses some of the most breathtaking
scenery in England and draws walkers and outdoor enthusiasts from all over
the world. It became Britain's first National Park in 1951, enabling
the rugged hills and valleys and picturesque towns and villages to be conserved
for everyone to enjoy.
Chelmorton is at the heart of the 'White Peak', a landscape
of rolling hills and limestone dales. To the north, east and west is the 'Dark
Peak', large expanses of heather moorland and outcrops of gritstone.
The scenery is spectacular throughout the National Park whether you are climbing
the hills, wandering through ancient woodlands or strolling along a riverside
path.
If you want to learn a little more about the area the ten 'Peak Experience' guides,
downloadable from www.peak-experience.org.uk will help you uncover the natural
and cultural heritage of the area. There is one for each of the following
topics: Food, Archaeology, Film & Literature, Waterways, Geology, Industrial
Heritage, Churches, Antiques, Wildlife, Myths & Legends.
