*Peak District towns*
Holmfirth
The town of Holmfirth has achieved fame as the centre of "Last of the Summer Wine" country. Visitors flock here every year to follow the footsteps of Compo, Clegg and Foggy visiting Sid's Cafe and the "Wrinkled stocking Tea Room" in Compo's bedroom below Nora Batty's steps. Holmfirth itself is an attractive town of steep, narrow alleys, cobbled lanes, weavers' cottages and handsome old mills.

Glossop
Glossop is one of the traditional " gateways " to the Peak District. Originally a cotton town it stands in the north - east corner of Derbyshire and on the west side of the Snake Pass.

Hathersage
The gritstone built town of Hathersage sits in a sheltered valley, beneath the panoramic view known as " surprise view " - embracing the Derwent, Mam Tor, Kinder Scout and the Hope Valley. Here at Millstone Edge, the discarded millstones litter the landscape, the surplus of a long - gone industry.

Buxton
The Victorians set out the gardens and the delightful cast- iron and glass buildings including the concert hall, conservatory, Pavillion and Opera House. Buxton's history is explained in the award winning Museum and Art Gallery near the market place.

Bakewell
Bakewell, the largest town in the Peak District, is primarily known for its Bakewell Pudding, a flaky, almond -flavoured confection invented here at the Rutland Arms Hotel in 1804 when a cook inadvertantly spoiled a recipe for strawberry tart.

Leek
Leek became important in the 18C & 19C as a silk town, famous for its shawls, buttons, ribbons, twist and sewing silks, and for the dye known as "Raven Black", a fashionable colour after being worn by Queen Victoria in mourning for Prince Albert.

Ashbourne
Ashbourne lies at the foot of the limestone hills and next to the river meadows of the River Done. It's famous product is "Ashbourne Water", pumped from the Nestle factory well. Described as "Gateway to Dovedale", Ashbourne is a busy market town centred around a cobbled market place. The streets are lined with pleasant Georgian houses, now mostly converted into shops, the most attractive being Church Street with its antique shops.
