Welcome to the Peak District National Park
In 1951, the Peak District became Britain's first National Park. It covers 555 square miles (1438 square kilometres) of beautiful countryside from high (2080 feet) windblown moorlands in the north to green farmland and tranquil dales in the south.
The dramatic gritstone edges, wild heather moorlands and gentle limestone dales make the Peak District National Park one of Britain's best-loved landscapes. Shaped by humans over thousands of years, the Peak District is a 'living landscape' that supports a rich diversity of wildlife, culture and heritage.
With its central Peak District location, a stay at Printer's Cottage provides a unique opportunity to get out and explore this rich diversity of areas and landscapes. Here is a selection of places to enjoy during your stay, both local and further afield...
