Of course, there is an abundance of local cosy pubs to bring in the New Year, many with live entertainment and festivities on offer. But if it’s a quieter night you’re after and don’t want to go crazy at New Year, then why not catch a winter sunset in the Peak District? 

If it wasn’t already beautiful enough with its snow-covered hilltops and amber hues, catching a winter sunset together would be the perfect end to the day (just make sure you take a torch out for the way back). A great place to catch this is Black Rocks, which is a popular walking area with the best views. The viewpoint can be reached by a short but steep climb from the car park, but the vista makes it worth it!

You could also enjoy a New Year walk in a quiet corner of the Peak District National Park and discover the impressive 'Dragons Back' (Parkhouse Hill & Chrome Hill).  Enjoy this 5.4-mile hill walk, with its sharp limestone hills, hay meadows and soft pastures of Dove Valley, near Buxton.  You could also carry on the walk a little further and reach our sister pub The Royal Oak and enjoy a great selection of drinks and delicious food in this charming country pub. 

Catch a sunset on the High Wheeldon walk.  A short but steep hike, but definitely worth the uphill struggle for the amazing views!

Head out for an earlier New Years' celebration with a visit to Yin & Yoga at the Coach House Studios in Wirksworth, Matlock.  A perfect way to spend a low-key New years eve and get 2025 off to a peaceful start!
