The plant life here is renowned for its beauty, and contains several unusual varieties. Some of the older specimens have grown there since the foundation of the park a full century ago."

"Peak District National Park does not really deserve its name. There are no towering peaks here, only open swamps, beautiful river valleys and gentle hills. The highest place is only 636 meters above sea level. A large number of limestone faults have created a unique landform for the peak area, making it the best choice for tourists to hike, hike, cave and climb, and is therefore known as the paradise of British outdoor sports."

"Climb up to Hen’s Cloud, go past the mysterious Doxey Pool and then across the Roaches to bag the Roaches trig!. The Roaches is a popular spot with climbers and rock enthusiasts. It is thought that wallabies (released from a zoo) roam the area, but we didn’t manage to spot any, so it may be a legend."

"Created by the lads behind the award-winning Viet Shack next door, Fusion Lab offers up some delicious modern Asian-inspired street food. They used to do the most incredible squid ink fish tacos – lightly battered fish and homemade cucumber and daikon pickles encased in a soft, black wrap – but, alas, these are no longer on the menu. Popular choices include the Korean fried chicken and their twist on the Cubano sandwich, as well as their loaded fries."
