LOCAL AUTHORITY
HOPE VALLEY
Planning to visit somewhere new? Let the locals share their knowledge with you! This month, Derbyshire
Who are you?
I’m Kay Hutson, wife of Practical Caravan contributor Nigel Hutson. We are keen caravanners, and I’ve been touring with Nigel for the past 22 years.
Why are you a local authority on Hope Valley?
To me, Hope Valley, in the heart of Derbyshire’s Peak District, is home. I lived on the family farm there until I was 21, and my four siblings still live in the valley.
What do you love about it?
I love the scenery; the rugged crags and hills are very familiar to me. There’s so much to see and do within a small area, from wandering around the ancient streets of the villages to full-on walking and cycling. Hope Valley has it all – provided you don’t want towns!
