About the trail

From the Georgian streets of the old spa-town of Buxton, the White Peak Way dips through seven distinct dales of the Peak District National Park. It clambers along ridges and traverses gritstone edges, wanders the green grounds of Chatsworth House, follows riverbanks through tranquil valleys, and even explores the rock chambers, tunnels and steps carved by an eccentric Victorian vicar. Historic villages such as Bakewell and Youlgreave also add to the character of the area, with their distinctive pastries and traditions, giving this walk a well-rounded, charming atmosphere throughout. Book a walking holiday on the White Peak Way and immerse yourself in this beautiful region.

Customer reviews from the White Peak Way

“Fabulous break and the logistics were all seamless - thanks! I will be back for another holiday - hopefully with friends in tow!”
Dr Sprague, UK
“Excellent in terms of organisation, all accommodation more than satisfactory.”
Mr Attree, UK
“I loved seeing a new corner of the UK and I was very lucky with the weather. The route directions were excellent.”
Mr Nuquist, USA
“Wonderful landscape.”
Mrs Krause, Germany
“The beautiful (and at times challenging, thanks to the rain and mud) dales were a wonderful new experience to us.”
Mrs Locke, USA
“It was very well organised (thank you). I enjoyed the variety of the walk. I felt that there was a good mixture of walking in the dales and gorges and walking on the hills. The towns and villages were picturesque but not overly quaint. The people were friendly.”
Mr Bakes, UK
“The route descriptions were mostly very detailed and very helpful.”
Ms Cole, USA
“Thanks for organising it at such short notice, during the busy season”
Mr Deadman, Australia
“We actually walked some, not all of it, due to weather, but it was still a great itinerary. 99% super directions and bookings - thank you.”
Mr Giles, USA
