Hathersage is a village around 10 miles from Sheffield in Derbyshire, and a true gem. It is surrounded by woodlands and has a number of shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants lining the streets. One popular attraction is the lido, a heated outdoor swimming pool that is open all year round. The village has lots of history, and is believed to have been occupied since the Middle Stone Age. There are plenty of walks to enjoy here. Photo: Chris Etchells
Worksop is a market town in north Nottinghamshire, and is believed to date back to the Anglo Saxon times. There is much history to indulge in here, from Mr Straw's House (pictured), a home frozen in time from the 1920s, to nearby Creswell Crags, an archaeological park, to the National Trust's Clumber Park, with stunning views of Clumber Lake.

Castleton is one of the Peak District's prettiest villages, and it's particularly well-known for Winnats Pass which looks like something out of Jurassic Park. You're spoilt for pubs, cafes and tearooms here, and there are a variety of gift shops, where you can pick up some unique jewellery made using the semi-precious Blue John stone which is found nowhere else in the world. If you're looking for an activity, you can ascend the steps to the ruins of Peveril Castle or head down into the nearby caverns. Photo: jason chadwick
