One of the best things to do in the Peak District is to get outside! Set in the heart of England, the Peak District was the first official national park, this year it celebrated 70 years since its creation and there are so many beautiful places to explore.

From the front door of Hargate Hall, you can easily depart on hikes and walks without needing to use your car. Nature is quite literally on your doorstep! But, in case you do want to travel farther, there are plenty of road trips you can take from Peak District. Be sure to keep an eye out for Halifax weather or wherever else you plan to go from here, because driving safe requires that the weather be favourable too.
2. Activities aplenty.
If walking isn’t your thing, there are plenty of other outdoor activities to take part in. With miles of bike trails, reservoirs, and lakes for watersports and even more adventurous sports like caving and hang gliding – you definitely won’t be bored whilst on your Peak District Holiday.
When you stay at Hargate Hall, we can provide you with details of our favorite suppliers and the best providers for your adventure holiday in the Peaks!

So, if you plan to stay in your hotel room, you can always use the internet to make some cash while relaxing in your hotel room by playing games that pay real money.
