A writer's wonderland
A wind-worn tree, a dry-stone wall, and a misty infinity in the distance—does this scene strike a note of poetry for you? Then you're in good company, as England’s Peak District has inspired holders of the pen for centuries. Many scholars pinpoint places mentioned in Arthurian legend to locales within this national park, and poets like William Wordsworth and authors like Jane Austen referenced the district in their works. More recently, literary adaptations like 'Pride and Prejudice' and 'The Princess Bride' have showcased the Peaks' pastoral landscape in cinema.
