The Peak District & Derbyshire has inspired plenty of famous authors! ✍️📚 Here are 5 fun facts about our literary links:

1️⃣ This stunning spot (pictured) is North Lees Hall in Hathersage 🏡 Charlotte Bronte visited here in 1845, around the same time that she was writing Jane Eyre. The Hall became the main inspiration for Thornfield Hall in the novel 😍 Now a private residence, the Hall can be seen from the footpath leading up to Stanage Edge.

2️⃣ Jane Austen’s ‘Pride and Prejudice’ was partly written in the Peak District town of Bakewell which she calls ‘Lambton’ in her novel 🏡 It’s thought she stayed at the Rutland Arms in the town centre and may have based her idea of Pemberley on Chatsworth House 🛌

3️⃣ Agatha Christie spent many happy hours in Derbyshire, walking the windswept moors around Kinder Scout, possibly the setting of one of her murder mysteries! 🔪

4️⃣ One of the first ever guidebooks to the Peak District, ‘Wonders of the Peak’, was published in 1681 by Charles Cotton who lived in Dovedale (now famous for its Stepping Stones!) 🍃

5️⃣ In more recent times, Glossop-born author Hilary Mantel became the first woman to win the Man Booker Prize twice for her novels Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies 📚
