The wild Pennine moorlands are of international importance for their populations of breeding birds and mosaic of habitats.
Sites of particular interest include Mam Tor, with spectacular views, landslip and prehistoric settlement, and the famous Snake Pass. Kinder Scout, where the Mass Trespass of 1932 took place, is the highest point for 50 miles.
The Trust also owns several farms and a café in the beautiful Edale Valley.

There are tonnes of places to explore in the Dark Peak, from wild landscapes to wild creatures native to the area. Bring yourself, friends or family to venture through this wonderful place.

Come to the Penny Pot Café and sample our wide range of delicious homemade food, drinks and cakes. Or visit some of our tenant farmers to see what they have to offer.
Stay
We run our own group accommodation in the form of Dalehead Bunkhouse in Edale Valley and our tenants and neighbours have quite a lot to offer in the way of places to stay as well.
