Limestone Peak

About

Limestone Peak ward encompasses a significant portion of the Peak District National Park's northern area. The landscape is defined by high moorland plateaus, gritstone edges, and expansive heather uplands. Settlements are small and scattered, primarily consisting of rural villages and farmsteads. The local economy has strong links to agriculture, outdoor recreation, and tourism, with many residents commuting to larger towns outside the ward for work.

The ward's geology is central to its identity, featuring the prominent limestone plateau of Eldon Hill. Large-scale historic quarrying has left a distinct industrial legacy on the terrain. This is walking and climbing country, with long-distance trails like the Pennine Way crossing its remote tracts. The area contains several protected conservation sites due to its important blanket bog and bird habitats.
