Bakewell, Castleton or Hathersage are always worth a visit and are among the most popular Peak District destinations for day trips, but if you’ve already been, or feel they might be a bit crammed on a bank holiday, then it’s time to find somewhere a bit more off the beaten track.
There are many lesser-known Peak District beauty spots that are well worth a visit as well, where the views are just as stunning, the ice cream is just as good, and are still just a short drive or bus ride away.
Take a look through our gallery below to find your next Peak District destination, with many not a long way from Sheffield.
