Derbydave96 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Hi all, Got some time to myself over the next couple of weeks and hope to explore the best that Derbyshire (and Derby) have to offer with a few friends, however don't have access to a car so will have to do it all by bus or train. Does anyone know of any top places to visit or things to see which i could reasonably access without a car? I'm staying in Derby, so will begin all travelling from there. I love being outdoors, good music, good beer, being active and am also quite into sort of alternative maybe hippie pursuits (yup... I'm just that cool ) Any tips or recommendations from some of the more worldly wise members on here would be greatly appreciated! Enjoy the summer and UTR!

I'd say get yourself a Peak Plus Extra ticket (or even a weekly ticket) for High Peak buses, and just take your time going around our fabulous county. https://centrebus.sharepoint.com/Documents/Peak Plus Xtra Map.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Contain Nuts Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 If you want some great beer get the Transpeak up to Buxton and visit the Buxton Brewery Tap House. In memory of Jake, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McRamFan Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 If you like walking Monsal Trail is great. Has loads of access points and some stunning views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenportram Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Trent Barton zigzag £6 can get as far as Bakewell I think and they do deals with Chatsworth too I think loads of deals here on fares https://www.trentbarton.co.uk/summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derbydave96 Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 Thanks for all the suggestions guys! Thinking as it will probably take a while to get up into the Peaks by bus, we may be best served camping somewhere for a night or two (if we can strip back the camping gear to the very basics to travel on bus) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't take too long to get to the peaks, especially if you go early as the schools are closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
