Peak District Adventures: Gritstone Edges, Limestone Dales, and Reservoir Trails for Your Pooch!

Explore the breathtaking landscapes of the Peak District National Park with your adventurous canine, Britain's first National Park, offering a stunning variety of terrains from rugged moorlands and iconic gritstone edges to picturesque limestone dales and serene reservoir paths. Whether your dog enjoys a challenging hike, a gentle riverside ramble, or a traffic-free trail, the Peak District is a haven for walkers.

Discover the wild beauty of the Dark Peak, with its dramatic escarpments like Stanage Edge and Mam Tor (the Shivering Mountain) offering panoramic views, or explore the heather-clad plateaus. In contrast, the White Peak boasts charming dales such as Dovedale with its famous stepping stones, the tranquil beauty of Lathkill Dale, or the wooded ravine of Padley Gorge. Enjoy miles of accessible walking along former railway lines like the Monsal Trail, Tissington Trail, and High Peak Trail, perfect for dogs of all abilities.

The Park's numerous reservoirs, including Ladybower Reservoir, Derwent Valley Reservoirs, and Langsett Reservoir, provide fantastic circular walks with beautiful waterside scenery. Remember, to protect wildlife and livestock, dogs must be kept on a short lead (max 2m) on all Open Access land from 1st March to 31st July, and at all times when near farm animals. Always follow the Countryside Code and be prepared for changeable weather, especially on higher ground.
