About us
Guardians of Peak District landscapes
Friends of the Peak District safeguards the landscapes of Britain’s first and most popular national park.
- We challenge and campaign against developments that threaten the Peak District’s beauty and tranquillity.
- We want thriving rural communities. We support homes for local people, sustainable jobs and local services.
- Climate change is the biggest threat to our countryside. We champion suitable renewable energy, environmental building design and green transport schemes in the national park.
Friends of the Peak District looks after the Peak District National Park, the Derbyshire High Peak and six parishes in North East Derbyshire (Barlow, Dronfield, Eckington, Holmesfield, Killamarsh and Unstone).
Where we fit
- We are a member of The Campaign for National Parks
- We also represent CPRE (Campaign to Protect Rural England) in the Peak District, and are part of the CPRE East Midland's Regional Group
- We are managed by CPRE Peak District and South Yorkshire, which also manages our sister charity CPRE South Yorkshire
