"In Peakland one marvels most at the strange
variety of scenery illustrations of all English inland
beauty seem to have been grouped there for man's
delight. There are tender meadows, streams such
as must have meandered through Arcady, fantastical
hillocks, mountains that cut the skyline with dog-
tooth edges, moors that change colour every day of
the year; there are two of the most notable houses
in existence..." Extract from "Peak District" (Open Library)
