FROM THE EASTERN SIDE

“A settlement on the periphery of the National Park which may provide accommodation and other services to visitors, channel people through transport interchanges and visitor centres. Gateways require high quality, robust facilities and information on sustainable means of accessing the National Park. They provide a good opportunity to introduce visitors to the range of recreation opportunities available."

What is a

PDNPA Recreation Strategy 2010-2020

As we approach our 70th year as the UK’s first national park, supporting sustainable gateways and opportunities for visitors to experience what we have to offer in a responsible way is vital to our future. It also resonates with our aim for everyone to be ‘PeakDistrictProud’ in their approach to spending time with us. The Covid-19 pandemic has brought into sharp focus the role that national parks and our outdoor spaces can play in our recovery and long-term wellbeing. It feels both timely and exciting to be working collaboratively with Milligan and Birchall Properties to create the first Peak District National Park gateway as part of the PEAK Resort. The Peak District’s unique position in the heart of the country already makes us accessible to millions and our involvement in the Gateway at PEAK will help unlock our wildlife, cultural heritage and natural beauty to others, befitting a pioneering approach to sustainable tourism.
