BRITISH RAIL JOURNEYS
AROUND THE PEAK DISTRICT

RUNTIME: 60 MINS

CAT: AWA269
UPC: 881482326990
RRP: $14.95


To travel by train around the Peak District is one of the oldest and most enjoyable ways to experience the natural beauty of the great British countryside. The southern part of the long Pennine backbone is a place known for its accessibility and splendor.

Beginning at the Huddersfield line out of Manchester, we move into the once industrial heart of Great Britain, through Uppermill, Saddleworth and into the Standage Tunnel, built in 1849. 

We travel to historic Holmfirth, Hadfield, New Mill, Edale and Hathersage, which was the inspiration for Bronte's Jane Eyre and the burial place of Robin Hood's Little John. We enjoy the beauty of places such as Buxton with its rich spa heritage, until finally visiting the National Tramway Museum in Crich.
