Peak District

We took a day to travel about an hour north of Birmingham to visit the Peak District of England.  

If you are looking for hikes in the Peak District, please check out the 10 Adventures Great Walks In The Peak District. 

Here are some photos from our visit.   This is a great area for a weekend drive up from the south.
