A weekend in the Peak District: an accessible itinerary

This is a gentle, short-hop weekend built around attractions that state disabled access. Day one links Graves Park Animal Farm, lunch at Rassams Creamery (2.4 miles on, with a 5/5 food hygiene rating) and Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet, just 3 miles further. Day two starts at the Tropical Butterfly House, 12.8 miles away, then moves 6.3 miles to lunch at Starbucks, also rated 5/5 for hygiene.

Every attraction and place to stay here states disabled access. For the two lunch stops we hold hygiene ratings but no access information, so ask ahead. Even where access is stated, check the details that matter to you, such as parking, accessible toilets, lifts and step-free routes, directly with each place before you book. For a base, Roseleigh in Buxton is 0.5 miles from Buxton station and has parking. Travelodge in Huddersfield is 0.6 miles from its station and pet friendly. If you're arriving by train, Edale is the nearest station to the Peak District.
