Why groups love the Peak District
A fantastic base for groups trips and school residentials, the Peak District has so much to offer. While you’re there why not stop off at the historic Chatsworth House, try the famous Bakewell Tart or drink Buxton’s mineral water at source.
School groups can also take the Blue John Cavern tour. Take your own journey to the centre of the earth in search of the mysterious Blue John, originally discovered by the Romans. It's a rather gorgeous mineral that’s only found in one place in the entire world – Hope Valley in the Peak District. The tour offers a wealth of geological educational opportunities across all Key Stages.
