Distances and facilities last checked October 2026
The Peak District was the first National Park in Britain, designated on 17 April 1951. It covers 555 square miles, from the gritstone edges of the Dark Peak and the limestone dales of the White Peak to the rolling hills and farmland of the South West Peak.
Five National Trust places sit inside the Peak District National Park boundary, from High Peak Estate in the north to White Peak Estate in the south. Four of them are within four miles of a mainline railway station, and three have a café.
High Peak Estate: Upland moorland and gritstone landscapes across Kinder, Edale and the High Peak. Winnats Pass: Part of the Kinder, Edale and High Peak landscape of moors, valleys and gritstone terrain near Hope Valley. Lyme Park: Lyme Park in Cheshire is a grand country house held by the Legh family for nearly 600 years. The three are about 12 miles apart from first to last, so they fit into one day.
Winster Market House: The first property acquired by the National Trust in the Peak District. White Peak Estate: Limestone hills, dales, woodlands, rivers and meadows containing rare wildlife and archaeological features. The two are about 9 miles apart from first to last, so they fit into one day.
High Peak Estate is 0.1 miles from Edale, Winnats Pass is 1.9 miles from Edale, Lyme Park is 1.5 miles from Disley and Winster Market House is 2.3 miles from Darley Dale (Peak Rail). Distances are in a straight line, so allow longer on foot or by taxi or bus.
Many places open fewer days or close for part of the winter, so check opening times before you travel.
