The smell of peat on the wind and the dark edge of Kinder Scout rising above the moorland — this is proper Peak District country, where the walkers start early and the hills don't mess about.

This hostel-style spot suits serious hikers, groups tackling the Pennine Way, and anyone chasing mountain air without fuss. The camping pods offer a step up from canvas for those who want a dry basecamp after a day on the plateau, while the hostel bunks work well for Duke of Edinburgh groups or mates splitting costs. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth asking ahead if you're bringing a four-legged walking companion.

Facilities aren't listed in detail, so check what's onsite when you book — expect bunkhouse basics rather than bells and whistles. Campfires are a maybe, so ask on arrival if you've packed the marshmallows. Open all year, which means you can wake to snow on the Edges in January or catch the bilberries in August. The vibe is stripped-back and mountain-focused — come for the walking, not the luxuries.

Derwent Dam Green Route

Follows a mostly flat, well-maintained path around Derwent Reservoir's eastern shore, perfect for families with buggies and young children. The compacted gravel surface handles paws and pushchairs brilliantly, with gentle gradients throughout. Dogs welcome and will love the water views. Offers stunning Peak District scenery, glimpses of the dam wall, and usually fewer crowds than the reservoir's western paths—ideal for a peaceful lakeside stroll with plenty of wildlife spotting opportunities.
