The best walks in the Peak District.
Gritstone edges, limestone dales and the moorland of Kinder Scout, within reach of half of England. The walks and pubs we rate most in Britain's first national park.
Graham DoddUpdated 6 Oct 2026
The Peak District does two landscapes: the dark gritstone moors and edges of the north and east, and the green limestone dales of the south. Most of the classics we've logged are in the Hope Valley, where Edale, Castleton and Hathersage sit within a few miles of each other.

Questions people ask
What is the best walk in the Peak District?
For a big day, Kinder Scout from Edale via Grindsbrook Clough is the classic. For a short walk with the best view per step, the Great Ridge from Mam Tor is hard to beat.
Which village is best to base a Peak District weekend?
Edale for Kinder and the start of the Pennine Way, Castleton for Mam Tor and the caves, Hathersage for Stanage Edge. They're all in the Hope Valley, so you can do one walk from each.
Can I stay overnight in a campervan at Peak District pubs?
Some pubs will let you if you eat or drink there and ask first. The overnight pubs on this page are ones we've stayed at. Always check before you arrive.
