Our wildlife, hills and dales are not here by chance. There is an underlying blueprint
that creates the magnificent landscape of the Peak District, and supports the diverse
wildlife found here.
The key to understanding that blueprint lies in understanding the geology - the
rocks beneath. Limestone, shale and gritstone form the foundations upon which this
'living landscape' has evolved. Each of these rock types supports their own
distinctive habitat - a perfect relationship between rock, soil, plants and animals.

types and habitats |
