10. Linacre Reservoirs
Located on the edge of Chesterfield, there are three reservoirs to walk round at Linacre. There is a gentle five mile route that takes you around all three, and through the village of Old Brampton, before arriving back at the car park. Photo: RKH
11. Castleton
Castleton is one of the most popular villages to visit in the Peak District, and it isn't hard to see why. It offers easy access to scenic walking routes and remarkable show caverns - such as Peak Cavern, Blue John Cavern and Speedwell Cavern. If you want to delve into the area’s history, why not head out to Peveril Castle - and you can visit one of the village’s many great pubs, cafes and restaurants afterwards. Photo: jason chadwick
