Am thinking of moving to Sheffield just to get closer to the peak district

[@YOIMMIKE]

I'm from Sheffield and only visited Bakewell.. there is so much im missing out on going to have to explore more soon :) Great vid

[@AlexTravels1]

Thanks for watching! the Peak District is packed full of hidden gems that can be easily missed... but certainly worth seeing!

[@iainburns423]

Great video, must visit the Peak District, looks beautiful. ❤

[@AlexTravels1]

It really is! Thank you for watching 😊

[@BadGaming101]

kinder down fall is amazing on windy days it flows upwards and can be seen miles away , great video

[@AlexTravels1]

I'd love to see that! it was very windy on the day we hiked up there but obviously not windy enough!

[@BadGaming101]

@@AlexTravels1 lots of water going over could see it in newmills odd spell of upwards water flow . search for this Kinder Downfall Uplifting plenty of videos

[@jacobmoszynski6546]

Great video! Just 10 minutes and so much information. Very concise, I love it.

[@AlexTravels1]

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@danielazziptrips]

Glad to know that I am not the only terrible navigator out there 🤣 and I do have to agree that sometimes going the opposite direction helps us finding hidden gems! Thanks for this video, I only drove past Peak District on a snowy day and that alone was enough reason to convince me to come back at some point - it looks stunning!!

[@AlexTravels1]

The first ever time we saw the peak district was when we had to drive through it to get from Sheffield to Manchester, and since then we keep going back, and yep... there's not a walk out there that we haven't gotten lost on!!

The B52 superfortress “overexposed” wreck is such an eerie place. When you stand looking over the edge you can understand why it crashed. Walking over the top of the Bleaklow Moor you really struggle of understand the reason for the crash at first.
The Peak District is my closest playground. I love it. Peverill Castle and Cave Dale are amazing. Mam Tor is one of my faves. Win Hill is my true favourite hill, which is a fab walk through the trees from Ladybower Reservoir.

[@eetheena3741]

Thanks for the amazing video. Helped me with my uni homework ! :))

[@AlexTravels1]

Happy to help!

I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Kinder Downfall do what it’s got it’s name for, it’s so surreal and really does look like it’s going upwards. As for Castleton, you forgot to mention Cave Dale, I loved it there as a kid and still a lovely place to visit, I managed to climb up to the top from the far end as a youngster, walk along the edge and sneak into Peveril Castle, wouldn’t dream of even attempting it now even if I physically could.

Great video with some new places I need to now explore.
You mentioned Princess Bride - in Castleton you’ll find the ‘As you wish’ hill

[@AlexTravels1]

Interesting, I had no clue! Next time I head to the Peak District I'll try to find it, I may have even been there before and didn't even realise!
