If you’re searching for scenic places to visit across Derbyshire and the Peak District this spring, then look no further.
I‘ve lived in Derbyshire for several years and these are some of the most picturesque places that I’ve been to – all of which are perfect to explore over the coming weeks.
The full list of my recommendations can be found below – is there anywhere else you think should be included?
13. New Mills
Visitors to New Mills can stroll along the Millennium Walkway, which stretches over the River Goyt and takes you to the Torrs Riverside Park. After taking in the scenery, there are plenty of great places to eat and drink across the town - including A Tavola, Pride of the Peaks and Torr Vale Tap. Photo: Brian Eyre
14. Bakewell
If you’re visiting the Peak District, it is almost impossible to miss Bakewell - with plenty of places to shop, eat and drink across the scenic town. Bakewell is the birthplace of the Bakewell Pudding - and there are few better places to sample this sweet treat than The Old Original Bakewell Pudding shop. It is also perfectly located for anyone wanting to visit a number of popular attractions - including the likes of Thornbridge Hall and Haddon Hall. Photo: Anne Shelley

16. Baslow
Baslow is another popular place to visit for those wanting to explore the Peak District - having previously been named the poshest place in Derbyshire by The Telegraph. This idyllic village has plenty to offer, with two restaurants that are featured in the Michelin Guide - along with great pubs, cafes and independent shops. Photo: Brian Eyre
