Northern and western Derbyshire is characterised by the uplands of the southern [[Pennines]]. A large part of the Peak District is within this area, which is divided into the Dark Peak and White Peak, the former being characterised by barren moorland, and the latter being dominated by limestone valleys and gorges. The highest point in the traditional county is Kinder Scout, whose summit is at 2,087 ft above sea level.
