Peak District National Park, UK
A writer's wonderland
A wind-worn tree, a dry-stone wall and a misty infinity in the distance – does this scene strike a note of poetry for you? Then you're in good company, as England’s Peak District has inspired holders of the pen for centuries. Many scholars pinpoint places mentioned in Arthurian legend to locales within this national park, and poets such as William Wordsworth and authors such as Jane Austen referenced the district in their works. More recently, literary adaptations such as "Pride and Prejudice" and "The Princess Bride" have showcased the Peaks' pastoral landscape in cinema.
