Edale, Derbyshire
THE EXPERIENCE
This run, from Dore in Sheffield to Edale, showcases some of the spectacular scenery of the Peak District. This picture was taken while descending the grassy trail from Win Hill down into Edale on a bright winter morning.
LOCAL FARE
The Rambler Inn, next to Edale Train Station, serves local ales and homemade pies. Perfect for a postrun treat.
FAST FACT
The Peak District was the UK’S first national park, designated in 1951. It is not named after the hills, but after an Anglo Saxon tribe, the Pecsaetan, who settled in the area in the sixth century.
