Combine two of our most popular British tours, the Peak District and the Yorkshire Dales, in this superb 7 day break.

The Peak District is one of England’s premier national parks and covers some of the most striking areas of Derbyshire, Staffordshire, Cheshire and Yorkshire.  The Dales have many moods, they can be wild and windswept or quietly tranquil. Here you will find some of the finest limestone scenery in the UK, from crags and pavements to an underground labyrinth of caves. Each valley or 'dale' has its own distinct character set against expansive heather moorland tops.

The Peak District is a wonderfully diverse landscape made up of two distinctly different areas: the White Peak which is made up of lush green pastureland and undulating gentle hills, whereas the Dark Peak is much wilder; with untamed heather and outcrops of black granite twisted into torturous shapes by centuries of wind and rain. Don't miss the Heights of Abraham, which is a 60 acre woodland estate rising from the valley floor, transport you in comfort and safety to absorb the spectacular views of the Derwent Valley nestled in amongst the splendour of the wider Peak District. Chatsworth House, known as the “Palace of the Peak District”. It is set in 105 acres of exquisite gardens which offer an abundance of laid gardens, magnificent park views and elaborate water features for the eyes to feast on.

The Yorkshire Dales is famous for its wonderful scenery with its deep valleys, known as dales, with roads meandering between drystone walls and a patchwork of hay meadows and field barns.  Up above is heather moorland and distinctive hills, such as the much loved Three Peaks. There is the Settle to Carlisle railway, which cuts through the National Park using tunnels and viaducts, including the iconic Ribblehead. Why not try some Wensleydale Cheese or go on a sampling tour at one of the local breweries? Both the Theakston’s Brewery and the Black Sheep Brewery offer tasting and guided tours where you can find out how they brew their famous ales. Driving in the Dales must be a highlight for the driving enthusiast, and everyone has their own favourite stretch of Dales road. Perhaps it’s the endless vistas sweeping before you or the splendid isolation you feel when you’re the only car gliding along a particular route that draws you here.
