The '''Peak District''' is an upland area mainly within the north-west [[Midlands]] of England. The region was recorded in the [[Anglo-Saxon Chronicle]] (924 AD) as having been home to the ''Pecsaetan'' ("peak-dwellers") people. It lies primarily within Derbyshire, with parts extending into the neighbouring counties [[Cheshire]], [[Staffordshire]] and [[Yorkshire]], and effectively forms the southernmost section of the [[Pennines|Pennine]] chain. A large part of the Peak District makes up the '''Peak District National Park''' which, designated in April 1951, is the first area in England to receive national park status.
