The Peak District is a land of rolling hills, picturesque dales, mystical moors and enchanted woodlands. Its varied landscapes are interspersed with breathtaking gritstone escarpments, legendary limestone ridges, crystal-clear rivers and lakes, idyllic villages and iconic stately homes. The UK’s first national park truly affords something for all ages, interests and abilities.
With endless trails to explore, it’s time to let your feet feel the glorious Peak District landscapes for themselves – bringing you closer to nature and regenerating your physical, social and spiritual health. In this Collection of hikes, we showcase hidden gems and absolute classics in the national park. Whether you’re into gentle saunters or challenging day hikes, there’s something for you here.
These routes are perfect for experiencing the joys of a pair of VIVObarefoot hiking boots or trail shoes. We are passionate about the sensory connection between the feet and the brain. That’s why our footwear is designed to be Wide, Thin and Flexible: as close to barefoot as possible. This allows your feet to sense the terrain, making every step a vital one and enhancing your experience of the great outdoors.
When you wear minimal footwear, your brain is engaged with every foot placement; improving balance and reconnecting you with your true potential. Furthermore, our sustainable footwear helps to protect the landscapes it brings to life – supporting good health for you and the planet.

In this Collection, we take you along the Baslow, Calver and Froggatt edges, where endless views and classic walking awaits. We scramble over the dragon hills of Chrome and Parkhouse, where exhilarating hiking and jaw-dropping beauty combine. We show you a different side of the Chatsworth Estate and visit folkloric rocks, mystical stone circles, historic treasures and landscapes where literature and legend go hand in hand.
The time has come to feel the earth beneath your feet.
