    Absolutely fantastic. Would recommend the buggy ride around the garden. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. The house and all the staff made you feel very welcome and relaxed.The markets are really good and have a very nice vibe and the house itself is decorated very well with a different theme every year. This year it's Henry and the Lion! The gardens are also lit up at night so definitely go for a walk after leaving the house if you have time. You will need to book tickets early ..

    I came to the UK for a tour and followed a local tour group to the Peak District National Park. However, it happened to rain that day and it was very windy outside. I could only take a few photos and then return to the car. The Peak District National Park in the UK is the first and largest national park in the UK, located in central England. The Peak District is located in the south of the Pennines, and most of the area is hills with an altitude of about 300 meters. The Peak District is mainly composed of sedimentary rocks formed in the Carboniferous period, including limestone, sandstone and coal rock.
