It's one of the best places to take in the incredible surroundings
The Peak District 's vast network of trails and footpaths make for a delightful winter day out. The colder weather, and even the possibility of snow, render the Peaks even more breathtaking in the winter.
It's important to note that when planning a lengthy hike in the Peak District, ensure you familiarise yourself with the route, pack the necessary equipment and clothing, and have relevant contact details for emergencies. Here at Derbyshire Live, we aim to highlight some of the national park's best spots to explore, and we encourage people to do so safely.
After soaking in the beauty of the wintry landscape, you can head into the village of Bamford and end the day with a drink at one of the local pubs. Bamford Edge is an hour and 15 minutes away from Derby.The Monsal Trail, a nine-mile stretch along the abandoned Peak and Dales railway line, is a popular spot throughout the year.
The "Palace of the Peaks" also provides a great retreat if the winter weather proves too severe. A tranquil stroll around the gardens can be further enhanced with a visit to the stables, which houses a café, restaurant and gift shop. Chatsworth is just a 55-minute drive from Derby.If Chatsworth House doesn't tickle your fancy, the River Derwent runs right alongside it.
