The Dark Peak

The Dark Peak is a rugged, upland area in the northern part of the Peak District National Park in England. Known for its wild, moorland landscape, it features vast open spaces, craggy hills, and heather-covered moors. The terrain is mostly made up of gritstone and peat, creating a dramatic and often stark environment. It’s popular for outdoor activities like hiking, mountain biking, and exploring nature. The Dark Peak is also important for conservation, supporting unique wildlife and reflecting a traditional, natural landscape shaped by centuries of agricultural and geological history.
