Did you know?

The Peak District National Park landscape is strongly influenced by the rocks underneath the soil. The rocks, and the soils formed from them, partly determine which plants will grow on the land and, in turn, which insects and animals will live there

Heather (Calluna vulgaris) is a long-lived shrub and can live up to 40 years

The Peak District National Park is one of the most visited National Parks in the world, with millions of people choosing to visit each year
