The Peak District is a place of gentle hills, beautiful valleys, and surprising peace when it is so close to Manchester. I've walked at Edale many times, Kinder Scout of course, Bradwell, Cressbrook Dale, Foxlow Edge and other places. It's exciting in winter when snow arrives, wonderful in summer if you want a sunshine day walk. It's not my favourite walking area, a little too tame, but I enjoy the distinctive photography.
