Go off the beaten path and find hidden gems while solving clues and completing challenges that are sure to keep the whole family entertained.

This self-guided Peak District road trip is designed to help you understand how the national park fits together as one coherent journey rather than a scattered collection of viewpoints.

You can follow the full route or explore sections depending on your time. The guide also includes 7 scenic drives across the national park, revealing mountain passes, limestone gorges and reservoir landscapes where the journey itself becomes a highlight. Rather than a fixed itinerary, the guide provides narrative context, route progression and flexible time-based planning ideas so you can adapt the experience around walking routes, weather and travel pace. With 12 months access included, you can start planning well before your trip and return to the guide whenever you need.
