1. Kinder Scout

The highest point in the Peak District is a must-visit for those looking to see the natural wonders in the area. Offering breathtaking views after a rewarding hike, the Kinder Downfall waterfall is a fantastic site to top off the visit – which can sometimes be seen as a reverse or backward waterfall. The only consideration is that the hike is fairly challenging but has plenty of areas to see the views without ascending to the summit.

2. Stanage Edge

A famous location for climbing, this gritstone escarpment is another great location to consider visiting on the nature side of your visit to the Peak District. It’s very popular for both rock climbers as well as climbers and for hiking and is the perfect place to visit to see all of the best views that you can see in the Peak District.

3. Mam Tor

Also known as “Shivering Mountain”, this 517m hill provides stunning views of the Hope Valley. The ridge walk to Lose Hill is one of the most scenic and iconic routes across the national park, and Mam Tor has outstanding natural beauty. This is a fantastic final destination to visit for a trip that is focused on the wonders of nature.

4. Village of Bakewell

Situated in the heart of Northumberland, Coquet Valley features stunning meadows and wild moors. This also flows into Rothbury, where you can enjoy a fantastic meal in one of the most idyllic towns in the UK. An absolute hidden gem in Northumberland, this is the perfect place to go on walks or bicycle rides, explore the meadows and then find a location for dinner and to pitch for the night in absolute comfort.

5. Peveril Castle & Castleton

Home to ancient Bronze Age settlements, Breamish Valley is a vast location where you can enjoy more picturesque walks and perhaps a picnic in the beauty of this area.

For those who love the Harry Potter series, Alnwick Castle was the official filming location for Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone and the Chamber of Secrets.
