Advantages: Amazing Scenery Disadvantages: Can be busy at popular times
I suppose that most of us would like to think that we do not take too many things for granted, but in truth if we actually sit down and think our own individual lives I guess that we all have something that is enviable to others.
I live and work in the centre of Sheffield, the fifth largest city in Britain and not unlike most of the other cities in the UK yet if you make a short journey of only a few miles out of the city centre then you are in the PeakDistrict with it round green rolling hills, breathtaking scenery and its picturesque little villages.
The PeakDistrict is now one of 15 National Parks in Britain; it was set up in 1951 and is actually the oldest of all of the National Parks. It is situated between Manchester in the West and Sheffield to the East and incorporates much of the Pennines Hills, which extend down to ...
