Peak District Tour Itinerary
Your private driver-guide will pick you up from your Manchester accommodation. Sit back and enjoy a scenic drive into the Peak District as your guide shares fascinating stories about the landmarks, landscapes, and legends that make this area so special.
Mam Tor
Start your day at Mam Tor, one of the most famous viewpoints in the Peak District. Take a private guided walk in the morning, enjoying breathtaking panoramic views of the rolling hills and valleys.
Your guide will lead you to secluded viewpoints, away from the crowds, where you can capture stunning photos as the morning mist lifts over Edale Valley. Whether you prefer a gentle stroll or a more challenging hike, the route can be customized to suit your pace.
After your walk, enjoy a delicious breakfast at a private countryside estate or historic manor house featuring locally sourced produce, fresh pastries, and artisan coffee with beautiful Peak District views.
Speedwell Cavern
Next, experience a one-of-a-kind underground boat ride through Speedwell Cavern. Travel through a narrow, flooded tunnel and arrive at the Bottomless Pit, a deep and mysterious pool with an unknown depth.
The dim lighting, still waters, and eerie echoes create an unforgettable atmosphere. As you glide through the cavern, your guide will share fascinating stories about the region’s mining history, revealing the challenges and discoveries made by miners centuries ago.
Chatsworth House
Your journey continues with a visit to Chatsworth House, home to the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire. With over 500 years of history, Chatsworth has hosted royalty, aristocrats, and celebrities and has even featured in films and TV shows such as Pride & Prejudice.
Skip the queues and enjoy exclusive access to private areas, including the Duke’s personal library and hidden art collections. Stroll through the beautiful gardens, explore the grand interiors, and discover the stories behind this stunning stately home.
Before you leave, visit the Chatsworth Farm Shop, where you can find locally made artisan foods, fine wines, and luxury gifts to take home.
Ladybower Reservoir & Castleton
Take a scenic drive through the Derwent Valley, arriving at Ladybower Reservoir, a peaceful spot surrounded by forests and rolling hills. Admire the famous overflow plugholes, which create a mesmerizing whirlpool effect, perfect for unique photography.
For those seeking adventure, explore the reservoir by kayak, paddleboard, or electric boat. Or, for a truly unforgettable experience, upgrade to a private helicopter ride, offering breathtaking aerial views over the Peak District.
Your final stop is Castleton, one of the most beautiful villages in the Peak District. Walk through quaint stone cottages, browse local shops, and visit the 14th-century Church of St. Edmund. If you’re up for a short walk, hike to Peveril Castle to enjoy stunning countryside views.
