Accessible places to visit
The National Park Authority aims to make recreational facilities available to as many people as possible.
This includes providing special parking bays at popular car parks, accessible information centres and picnic sites, toilets with facilities for disabled people and, where practical, access onto suitably surfaced paths.
We own 49 car parks, 30 of which are free and the rest pay and display. Blue Badge holders can park free at all car parks.
Website accessibility
The Authority's web team aspires to make all Peak District websites as useful and accessible as possible to all users regardless of what browser you are using.
We have updated our website accessibility page at www.peakdistrict.gov.uk/accessibility A link to it is available at the top of every page on the website.

Public transport
A number of Community Transport Schemes operate in and around the Peak District including the 'Scenic Derbyshire Tours' which runs from May to October.
The route runs around the Peak District with fully accessible 16-seat vehicles which can accommodate wheelchair passengers. These services are open to local elderly and/or disabled residents and to visitors to the area.
All of the schemes are registered charities and are under contract to Derbyshire County Council to provide Dial-a-Bus and Group Hire services.
