Glad you had such a good time :) The edge is one of my favourite walks, I used to do it with my Dad and first dog 20 odd years ago and am now there most weekends with the border terrorist It looks like the weather wasn't too bad which was an added bonus I am sure

Doh! only just seen this, I grew up in the peaks and now live just outside. If you can get this whilst away, there is a lovely walk on Gardom's Edge where you park in the carpark next to the Robin Hood pub walk a circular walk and finish in the dog friendly pub :) It is between Baslow and Chesterfield (about 1.5 miles from Baslow) where the A621 forks off the A619. Ashbourne is worth a visit too, not as touristy as Bakewell generally. Oh and Hardwick Hall is just outisde of the Peaks (off junc. 29 of M1) but well worth a visit with dog friendly parkland too.

Hope you enjoy your visit x

(nothing as scary as the birdseye polar bear obviously!)

Hope this helps

Maybe Phrin will recommend her vets as the one where I work is a bit too far for you in an emergency (which is the only reason you'd need one after all!) I remember most of them in the area by name from when I was a rep but couldn't tell you who have the nicest and most helpful staff anymore as it's been so long. I'm also not sure who does out of hours in the area anymore.
