Full description

Leave bustling Manchester behind and set off to the lush Peak District on an unforgettable day trip. Discover the region of wild peaks, rugged moorlands, and pretty time-worn cottages and delve into its fascinating history. 

After departing Manchester, make a stop in Eyam, a village that faced unimaginable adversity when the Plague broke out in 1666. Uncover a story of solidarity and strength before traveling onward to Bakewell. Take in the picturesque beauty of this quaint town, home of one of England’s most famous desserts, the Bakewell Pudding.

As you journey towards Monsal Head, see an old rail line viaduct emerge from the green hills to create a unique vista. Marvel at this gorgeous structure and learn about its impressive history. Continue to Castleton, a charming old town that attracts travelers from all over the world for its traditional English charm. Wander the streets, enjoy a beautiful view up a valley, and learn its history at an insightful information center. 

You will also have a chance to go on an optional visit to the Peak’s Cavern. As you gaze at this impressive cave with its large natural entrance, hear about its outrageous nickname, how it used to be a hideout for robbers, and how it sometimes acts as a concert venue.

After a day of delicious treats, spectacular views, and poignant history, you travel back to Manchester and arrive in the late afternoon.
