A weekend in the Peak District

2 days For everyone Built from visitor-rated places

♥ Save as my trip

This is a weekend of two halves. Saturday begins over the border at Diggerland Yorkshire, followed by a coffee-shop lunch at Starbucks (5/5 food hygiene rating) 5.2 miles on, and Temple Newsam House just 0.9 miles beyond that. Sunday's one long leg is a 46.3-mile journey to Gulliver's Kingdom. After that, everything is close together: 0.8 miles to lunch at the Kings Head, also rated 5/5 for hygiene, then 0.9 miles to the Peak District Mining Museum.

Winhill Cottage in Hope Valley makes a good base. It sleeps 4, has parking and EV charging, and is 0.8 miles from Bamford station. Clover Fields Touring Caravan Park in Buxton offers disabled access and a laundrette and is 2.4 miles from Buxton station. The Travelodge Hotel - Macclesfield Central is just 0.1 miles from Macclesfield station. Coming by train? Edale is the nearest station to the Peak District.
