The Peak District is an upland area in central and northern England. Despite its name, the landscape generally lacks sharp peaks, being characterised by rounded hills and gritstone escarpments (the "edges"). An area of great diversity, it is conventionally split into the northern Dark Peak, where most of the moorland is found and whose geology is gritstone, and the southern White Peak, where most of the population lives and where the geology is mainly limestone-based.

Leaving in the evening unexpectedly late,
But feeling talkative and great,
We drove to the South,
Only stopping to fill our mouth,
The usual fish and chip shop is where we ate,

Saturday in Dartmoor,
We gave the land a tour,
Cloudy weather,
Mud and dead heather,
In between each Tor.

Getting back at about 2,
Having a nap whilst skies were still blue,
Then deciding to make,
A meal out of pancake,
Though most only ate a few.

We went for beers at the East Dart Hotel,
Staying there for a small spell,
Drinking ales such as Dartmoor or Devon Dew,
Others with some cider brew,
