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.

At least 50 limestone slabs, all now fallen, were used. It had a central &quot;cove&quot; of stones which is believed to hold special ceremonial significance. Nearby is the Gib Hill Barrow burial site which has yielded Bronze Age pots and implements. The site was one of the first to be protected under the Historic Monuments Act of 1882 and, as such, is marked out with granite boundary stones carrying the cipher of Queen Victoria. Later stones show George V and the very latest, replacing a damaged one, is Charles III.
