> (In reply to Skol) Calling it the Peaks implies that you think it's named because there are numerous summits whereas in fact it's named after a tribe of Anglo Saxons.
No. Calling it the 'peaks' refers to the 2 distinctly different geological areas of the Peak District.
Yeah you're right re the naming, but the Pecsaetan tribes mates from across the country, probably said, ' let's go to the Pecs for the weekend'?
