The Peak District walks that you simply have to do this autumn

Going for a walk on a crisp autumn day is a must-do this season. Luckily for us in Greater Manchester, one of the best places in the UK for an autumn walk is only a stone’s throw away.

The Peak District was named among the top ten places in the country for a seasonal stroll, according to a new study. In fact three separate locations within the national park made the list featuriong the country's top ten scenic walking locations: Winnats Pass, Mam Tor and Lud’s Church.

Researchers from Parkdean Resortshave found the most popular autumn walking locations according to TikTok. The Scottish Highlands came out on top, which is unsurprising given the thousands of square miles it covers.

It was followed by Castle Combe in the Cotswolds, a picturesque village around 10 miles north of Bath. The village has fairytale-like cottages and gorgeous mediaeval architecture, making it an atmospheric place for an autumn walk.

Regents Park in London rounded off the top three, offering an urban walking experience. But it was the Peak District which dominated the list with three locations in the top ten.

Winnats Pass, the spectacular limestone gorge which leads into the village of Castleton, ranked in fifth place and nearby Mam Tor came in seventh place. The latter offers incredible views across Edale, Castleton and the Hope Valley. It’s also become a popular spot for watching sunrises.

Lud’s Church, a magnificent chasm near Gradbach, came in ninth place. The deep moss-covered chasm was created by giant landslip and feels like entering a different underground world.
