In this episode, I’m sharing my experience exploring the Peak District, England — a place I truly fell in love with. 

From dramatic limestone edges and sweeping views to rolling green hills dotted with sheep (soooo many sheep), quiet walking trails, and storybook villages, the Peak District completely won me over. 

In fact, I loved it so much that it’s very likely making its way onto a future Wander Your Way Adventures itinerary.

I talk about what makes the Peak District so special — how the landscapes shift from one area to the next and why it’s such a rewarding destination for travelers who enjoy walking, nature, and a slower pace of exploration. 

I also touch on the region’s incredible stately homes — including the iconic Chatsworth House — for those who want to pair beautiful scenery with history, architecture and a glimpse into England’s past.

If you’re dreaming of visiting the Peak District, England, curious about why it left such an impression on me, or simply love hearing about places that feel both grounding and inspiring, this episode is for you.
