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.

There was a full rainbow over Rushup Edge but couldn't get it all in. <br /> <br /> Not my orginal location but I left the house late hoping for a bit of fog closer to home. Nothing but rain though so headed here. A few people for sunrise but had the place to myself after.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/127219004@N03/">Bill Robinson / kinderbill</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/127219004@N03/54663566930/" title="Tideswell Dale / Litton Mill"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54663566930_73582e2ba9_m.jpg" width="240" height="158" alt="Tideswell Dale / Litton Mill" /></a></p> <p>Peak District.
