Children can take a trip on the miniature train and clamber through the play areas, while grownups can appreciate the metal and glass Octagonal Hall (1875) and Frank Matcham’s regal Opera House."

"Peak District National Park does not really deserve its name. There are no towering peaks here, only open swamps, beautiful river valleys and gentle hills.
