NotesAn extensive upland area in central and northern England, principally spanning Derbyshire and parts of Cheshire, Staffordshire, Greater Manchester and South Yorkshire. Established in 1951 as Britain’s first National Park, it is characterised by the contrasting landscapes of the Dark Peak's gritstone moorlands and the White Peak's limestone dales and villages. The area contains a rich legacy of natural, archaeological and industrial heritage, together with reservoirs, historic settlements and a dense network of public footpaths. The park also preserves a strong tradition of local customs, including well dressing, rushbearing and village festivals, which remain important features of its cultural identity.
