Derbyshire & the Peak District from Manchester

This region encapsulates everything everybody loves about England.

On this tour, you explore the most fascinating spots in the area of Derbyshire. You see the gently towering hillocks of the Peak District, experience the traditional streets and treats of Bakewell village. Join this tour and experience England in miniature.
