Peak Village says walk this way

Sept. 23, 2011 - PRLog -- Peak Village Outlet Shopping Centre in Rowsley is encouraging walkers and ramblers in the region to ‘walk this way’ in the wake of announcing a number of new initiatives aimed at putting a spring in people’s step by making Rowsley’s premier shopping centre more walker friendly than ever.

The region’s favourite shopping outlet has now created a free ‘walkers’ zone’ parking area, enabling walkers to park their car and enjoy some of the picturesque local walks available in the vicinity of Peak Village. Walkers have been allocated parking in the car park adjacent to the A6, with signage created to guide walkers to the parking zone.

A walkers’ area is also being created for the Peak Village website to make visitors aware of the facilities for walkers, which will include supplying picnic benches and seating areas for walkers to relax and of course, they will be welcome to use the shops and facilities, which include Mountain Warehouse and Yeoman’s Outdoor Leisure for walkers in need of supplies.

Peak Village has also joined forces with local walking legend Sally Mosley and has commissioned the local peak district guru to create a series of circular walks for people of all abilities to enjoy directly from Peak Village. These are available to download from the Peak Village website or collect free of charge from the centre.

“You often see people coming to the area to walk in the Peaks and struggling to find somewhere to park in comfort, so we thought it would be nice to do something to help and welcome people to the region,” said Terrence Morgan of Peak Village. “People often stop to buy some snacks or have a coffee prior to walking in the area and ask if they can leave their cars, so we decided to make it clear that we do welcome walkers and with Sally’s help, we will soon be offering some great circular walks of the area. It’s easy to forget we work amid some of the finest scenery in the country and we hope this initiative will encourage more people to come along and share it with us.”

To those who know and love the Peaks, Sally Mosley needs no introduction. A well known local figure, Sally’s unrivalled knowledge and experience of guiding people through the peaks made her the perfect choice for compiling a series of walks based on Peak Village.

Peak Village is at the heart of the Peak District national park and Chatsworth House is just a short walk away, making it an ideal starting and stopping point for the budding rambler. For those who would prefer to just ‘shop ‘til they drop’, Peak Village has a host of shops and top brands at discount prices to choose from and currently boasts a footfall of over 750,000 every year.

With free parking and free entertainment, the opportunity to combine superior shopping with great local attractions, and local walks, the Peak Village package is one not to be missed.
