Peak Connections

Explore the Peak by bus or train

Peak Connections guides have been designed to make getting around the Peak District without a car as easy as possible. The guides have lots of ideas for days out, places to visit and fun things to do – all accompanied by bus or train times.

The popularity of the Peak District means there are plenty of bus services put on to take people to the heart of the country from neighbouring towns and cities. So sit back, relax and take in the breathtaking scenery as the bus takes the strain.

On Summer Sundays and Bank Holiday Mondays visitors can hop on services to places like Ashbourne, Bakewell, Buxton, Derwent Dams, Dovedale, Eyam, Hartington, Hathersage, Hayfield, Lyme Park, Matlock Bath and Tissington. Or visit the attractions at Carsington Water, Castleton, Chatsworth, Crich Tramway Village, or Haddon Hall . Many of these places can also be reached by bus during the week.

The area is also well served by trains with services running along the Derwent and Hope Valley Lines connecting the cities of Derby, Sheffield and Manchester with the Peak District.

Arrive by bus and enjoy discounted entry to many attractions across the area, simply use the voucher in the guide and show your bus ticket at your chosen attraction. Guides are available from local Tourist Information Centres.
