Derbyshire and the Peak District are perfect places to spend some time during the half term break – whether you’re looking for impressive views, great walking routes or some of the county’s more unusual attractions.
These are some of the best spots across the area to explore this half term – is there anywhere else that we need to add to our list?

The Monsal Trail runs between Wye Dale and Bakewell, and contains plenty of greenery. The trail is relatively flat, but does span 13.6 kilometres, so make sure you're up to the challenge before attempting it. Photo: jason chadwick
