The Peak District

For the first 18 years of my life, the Peak District and Staffordshire Moorlands was effectively ‘home’. I spent much of my childhood roaming the White Peak, particularly around Dovedale, the Manifold Valley and up towards Alsop.

As I got older, I made frequent trips north into the Dark Peak. It is the UK’s oldest national park and a place that’s very close to my heart, so I aim to visit at least once each season every year – but my visits are usually more frequent than that.
