I'm based in Market Harborough, Leicestershire, so these are a bit too far for us right now for a day trip, but will keep in mind for later or for a potential family holiday in the peaks. We've been there rock climbing, it's one of our favourite places. Thank you!
Oo nice :) I used to live in Leicester and visit bradgate Park quite alot to walk around all the trails and to see the deer (sorry if you know it already)
Thanks @Hannah I didn't know about this place, we'll chek it out.
Hicks lodge in ashby is great... theres a gruffalo for the little ones.. a variety of walks ranging from just over a 1 mile up to 5 miles... and a great coffee shop at the end!!
Where abouts are you thinking? I have a couple in Staffordshire? Dovedale- There are 2 sides to a stream and 1 is a lot flatter than the other, there are stepping stones and an ice cream shop at the end in a little village. A toilet is on the carpark too Dimmingsdale (alton)- nice place to eat (with a loo!), nice lake to walk around, couple of nice trails going up to the chained oak or along the old railway line, nice place to spend a day
