Overview
Christmas has passed, and we're not quite at New Year…which leaves a wonderfully peaceful gap in our schedules! The WalkWise Peak District Twixtmas break enables you to squeeze in a fantastic winter weekend escape amongst some of the finest countryside in Britain! And the HF Peveril of the Peak is an excellent location with some lovely accommodation, superb food and great walking. Plus, if you want an extended break, you can easily link it with one of the New Year events by moving down to another WalkWise venue!
Set in the southern edge of Britain’s National Parks, there's a terrific range of walks on our doorstep as we have easy access to stunning White Peaks. In terms of the mighty impressive walking the enchanting dales of Dovedale and Mill Dale are sure to feature, and this means the pleasing River Dove will be on the menu too. But we can also venture a little further perhaps visiting the quaint hamlet Hartington which in turn earths up the serenely beautiful Wolfscotedale to add into the pot. Another walk which is sure to be a winner loops around the River Manifold and near the vicinity of the River Hamps! Add to this, over the course of the break, pretty hamlets & villages not to mention good pubs & cafes plus so much more and all in great company.
