South of Sheffield, the White Peak is a gentle, feel-good introduction to the Peak District. The limestone landscape lends itself to undulating dales, and while there are many lonely spots, popular spa towns Matlock Bath and Buxton draw visitors, as does the Chatsworth House and Gardens, one of Britain’s loveliest country estates. Along the winding, wood-flanked rivers are excellent campsites—start at Lathkill Dale, where several sites flank the steep valley sides.
