Check out Let’s Go Peak District’s pick of the Top 5 Best Peak District Ideas for a truly memorable Mother’s Day!
Be Charmed By Chatsworth
The Jewel in the Peak District’s Crown reopens on 18 March after its winter rest, just in time for Mother’s Day. Treat your Mum to a day to remember visiting Chatsworth House and its beautiful gardens, maybe with lunch in the restaurant. Check out www.chatsworth.org for more information.
A Breath of Fresh Air
The Peak District countryside is second to none, so make the most of it with your Mum over the Mother’s Day weekend. A great place for a weekend wander is around the beautiful village of Castleton, which has something for everyone. Visitors who enjoy a gentle pace of exploration will love wandering its narrow lanes, browsing the independent shops and sampling the fare in the many tea rooms, restaurants and pubs. More adventurous types will love its proximity to Mam Tor and Peveril Castle, as well as its many show caverns.
Fly High above the Derwent Valley
The Heights of Abraham is a beautiful 60 acre hilltop estate located on the edge of the Peak District between Matlock and Matlock Bath. It’s one of Derbyshire’s oldest tourist attractions, with woodland trails, breathtaking viewing platforms, show caverns, a museum with a period costume exhibition, a film theatre, gift shops, a cafe and restaurants, as well as special events and live music at selected times throughout the year. Best of all, you can travel there by taking a flight in one of the famous cable cars, crossing the picturesque Derwent Valley in style on a journey that takes you more than 554ft upwards to the summit, 1000ft above sea level.
