To the north lies the rugged and dramatic Dark Peak with its moorland and grit stone. In stark contrast are the green fields, rolling rivers and flower filled dales of the limestone White Peak. Culture The Peak District and surrounding area is rich in stately homes, museums, craft centres, theatres, music venues, festivals, well dressings and much more. Local history There are ancient and historical places to visit all around the Peak District. From prehistoric sites like Arbor Low and Creswell Crags, to the industrial sites of Masson Mills and Crich Tramway Village. Market towns and villages The towns and villages of the Peak District are wonderful places to wander and browse. From the busy market town of Bakewell to the plague village of Eyam there is lots to see and experience. Town: Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Peak District, LittonLitton can certainly be described as one of the most attractive villages in the Peak District with many late 17th and early 18th century houses, full of charm and character set around a large village green where you can find an ancient cross, old wooden stocks and a quaint village pub.Situated 4 miles northwest of Bakewell and 1 mile east of Tideswell, home of the Cathedral of the Peak, Litton has a particular charm of its own. The village Green is covered with daffodils in spring, followed in May by the cherry blossom and during the summer months visitors can picnic in the shade of leafy trees. At Christmas time the village sparkles with Christmas lights and the main Litton Christmas tree is positioned just opposite Candlelight Cottage. Lying at 1,000 feet above sea level, almost at the very centre of The Peak District National Park, Litton offers all the advantages of a peaceful small village, whilst being only a 20 minute drive away from the towns of Buxton and Bakewell or the beautiful stately homes of Chatsworth and Haddon Hall. Superbly located in the midst of breathtaking scenery typical of the White Peak area of limestone dales, the village also provides an ideal base from which to visit the wild moors and grit stone outcrops of The Dark Peak. There are many excellent walks from the village, especially down Litton and Tideswell Dales to reach the River Wye near Water cum Jolly, or through Tansley and Cressbrook Dales to Monsal Dale and the famous viaduct at Monsal Head.
