sheraz_aries

Hi,I would be with my Mrs in Peak District during Bank Holiday weekend.

would like to know any great places that we should be visiting.

Apart from that any site from where we could get vouchers deals etc

We prefer natural places, walks, greenery.

Thanks

How are you travelling? Where are you staying?

If the weather's good expect it to be busy with day-trippers from the surrounding cities. Probably us included

We are driving from buckinghamshire and staying at Travel lodge.

Do hope the weather would be good but you never know

hi

where is the travelodge?


There is one in Macclesfield - is that what you mean? No travelodge in the Peaks itself...

There are loads of fantastic walks, or scenic drives...caves / caverns /historic houses / castles ...

what do you want to do?

Not sure what you want re deals - you say you like walks, greenery etc - well you cant really get deals on them - do you mean specific attractions?

Well its not exactly in peak district but in Sheffield which is 30 mins drive from peak district. was but cheap so decided to go for it.

from voucher discounts i was trying to ask for attractions.

Chatsworth House is a great place to spend a whole day - not particularly cheap, though. If you book on-line you can at least save the cost of parking.

There are a few vouchers here http://www.peakdistrict.gov.uk/visiting/publictransport/peakconnections
which you can use if you travel using the local buses

There is also a bit of information there about good places to visit

Hope you find something to interest you!

The Derwent Dams and Ladybower Reservoir are near to Sheffield. Great for walking but get there early to take advantage of free parking. They charge at Fairholmes visitor centre car park, but all the other smaller ones along the access road are free.

Toilets, information centre, bike hire and you can buy hot drinks and snacks at Fairholmes.
