Our Brecon Beacons daytrip has proved so popular that we’ve decided to introduce another one day-er! This time the destination is England’s Peak District National Park.

This 14km circular route through some of the Peak District’s most beautiful landscape is the perfect introduction to hiking. The pace will be relaxed, allowing you all the time you need to take in the views and enjoy the scenery, and you’ll be guided along the route by a trained Mountain Leader who will point out the sights and the wildlife.

We’ll hike through The Roaches, the famous rock climbing crag, and up to the small summit where you’ll be afforded views across the National Park before continuing your hike. You’ll also hike past Doxey Pool which legend states is inhabited by a mermaid known as the blue nymph!

You’ll be met by your guide in London in the morning and driven up in a minibus, returning to London that evening. Just a few hours from London, this daytrip is great if you don’t have a lot of time to spare.
