Peak District National Park
Welcome to an upland area of immense diversity that varies from moorland, the Dark Peak and the limestone area of the White Peak, in the southern end of the Pennines and the first national park in the United Kingdom. Its location near cities like Manchester, Sheffield, Derby, to name a few and easy access to rail and roadways attract multitudes of people. There is evidence that this place has been inhabited since the Mesolithic age with mining and agriculture being the main means of livelihood. This was followed by the start of cotton mills and quarrying. Tourism also gained momentum with all the natural abundance and the numerous heritage sites.

Even the fauna and the bird species found here are widespread and are generalists and have a distinct and exclusive aura.
