The Peak District National Park is a great venue for a wide range of learning opportunities, both formal and informal. In this section you will find information about our learning and discovery team, self-led activities and background information about the Peak District. We also publish our latest news stories here.

The learning and discovery team offer varied educational programmes, family and community events that enable people to discover, explore and enjoy the special qualities of the Park. We want to inspire you to love the Peak District National Park as much as we do. We hope these opportunities will empower learners to have a greater understanding and care for the natural environment.

Above all we believe being outdoors is inspiring and offers valuable learning experiences for all.
