Peak District Bypass
Trek through the beautiful Peaks
Divided into the northern Dark Peak, which mostly consists of moorland, and the southern White Peak, back in 1951, the Peak District became the first area in the UK to be assigned the title of ‘national park’. This is an area of truly outstanding natural beauty and is easily accessed from major cities such as Liverpool, Manchester, and Sheffield.
