    A natural underground cave complex in which regular guided tours are led by guides. There is a…read morepaved walkway with a few steps. Dramatic lighting has been installed that highlights features. It is really beautiful in the caves and the history although including an element of myth is interesting too. It is quite cold in the caves so take a jacket or coat

    During a family weekend in Buxton the weather turned a bit miserable so we decided to sack off the…read morehiking and head to the caves for some shelter. A large school trip beat us to the mark so we had to wait 45 minutes for another tour. There's a good size cafe and a small shop attached to the caves so we sat and had hot drinks and freshly baked cakes whilst we waited. The cakes were absolutely delicious and the portion sizes were more than generous. As the caves are situated next to Go Ape (a tree top adventure park) there's plenty going on around it. There's a forest that you can walk through with various lengths and difficulties of walk. So there's definitely plenty to see and do whilst visiting. We were called to the cave entrance once the school trip had finished and we were welcomed to the caves. Basic health and safety rules were stated and then the tour began taking us underground into the depths of the caves. The staff are full of knowledge so the tour was very educational as well as interesting. Each tour lasts around 45 minutes and the staff are happy tour answer any questions you may have. Please note the caves stay at a constant temperature of 7 degree so no matter what the weather outside you're going to need a light jacket when in the cave.

    I love the outdoors. Something about the mountains and water by it. I love hiking. I do it…read moreoccasionally but nothing like at Peak District. I'm from America. We don't have castles like that. We don't have the beautiful architecture to go along with it. Since the weather was not cooperating cause I visited in mid to late October, the clouds were biopolar and it started to rain. I couldn't explore Peak District like I wanted to. Next time, I want to hike and climb the mountain! What I saw was breath taking and so beautiful! I have pictures to make memories but they don't do justice to what I saw with my own eyes. I miss UK. I miss Sheffield. I will be back.

    A new-found love of the great outdoors was further strengthened by a long weekend spent in the Peak…read moreDistrict - the UK's first national park and only an hour's drive from Manchester. I'd been on a walk with friends to Edale several months ago and knew back then that I wanted to explore the area further, so getting the chance to stay for a few days in the village of Calver meant more walking was on the cards. You'd expect, given its name, to see plenty of peaks, but there really aren't any - it's mostly millstone grit escarpments (called the "edges") jutting out of the tops of hills which are popular with rock climbers. We walked along Froggart Edge and there were breath-taking views of the valley below. Whether it's walks along rivers, through forests, across moorland or wild flower meadows, you'll find them - the park covers over 550 square miles. It's well serviced by public transport; there are numerous train services from Manchester and Sheffield so you can leave the car at home. In the summer months, local roads can get congested and finding adequate parking can be an issue, but if you plan ahead, or stay for a couple of days, you shouldn't have any problem as there are beautiful walks starting from pretty much any point.

    I went to a wedding at Arley Hall last week and it was a spectacular venue to get married…read more The only reason I'm marking it down to 4* is because as a non-driver and a singleton it would have been very expensive to get there myself, as the public transport links aren't great. Luckily, I got a lift to and from the venue with friends but otherwise it would have been £50 in a taxi each way. So that's the moan out of the way. The rest was brilliant and to anyone looking for a wedding venue, you should definitely consider here. The main house, where the ceremony and meal were, was very pretty. The food was very tasty, particularly the sticky toffee pudding. Service was also very good. The back where the pictures were taken is gorgeous and provides a beautiful backdrop for wedding photos - official or unofficial! The evening do was in the Olympia Hall which is a nice size. Has a bar, nice area for DJ/dancing and an upstairs bit with sofas and room for a photo booth. I'll put up a few photos shortly.

    Although we didn't pay to go into the hall and gardens themselves, even through cafe alone is well…read moreworth a visit if you're in the area. My friend and I had been on a 6 mile hike that started and ended at the hall, and it made for the perfect finish. The celeriac soup was delicious, but everything on offer looked great. Be mindful that they do stop hot food at 3, but we turned up at 3.20 and as they hadn't turned anything off yet they were more than happy to serve us. The cakes looked lovely too and if I'd have had room for dessert I would have had one without hesitation!
