Peak District Hidden-Gems GPS Tour: Self-Drive Treasure Hunt and Family Quiz (7-Day Pass)
Select participants and date
You pull off the narrow lane and the moor breathes out: a low wind that stirs heather, stone walls that seem to rearrange themselves with each bend, and a slate-roofed village that looks ready to argue with the weather. The app pings—Loquiz is ready—and suddenly a patchwork of pins blooms across your phone, each one a clue, a micro-museum, or a viewpoint daring you to stop. This is the Peak District by way of a gamified road map: part orienteering, part local history lesson, all self-directed.

Adventure Tips
Activate When Ready
Your 7‑day pass starts the moment you log in—only activate the app when you plan to begin exploring to avoid wasting access time.
Charge and Carry a Power Bank
GPS and camera use drain batteries fast—bring a high-capacity power bank to last long drives and multiple stops.
Layer for Changeable Weather
Bring a lightweight waterproof and an insulating midlayer; conditions can shift quickly on exposed moorland.
Park Early on Weekends
Popular trailheads and village car parks fill quickly—arrive before 10am for the best parking options.
Local Insights
Wildlife
- Red grouse on higher moorland
- Grey wagtails and dippers near stream-side villages
History
The Peak District’s villages grew around lead mining and sheep farming; many quiet lanes follow old packhorse routes and drover’s roads.
Conservation
Stick to marked paths to protect fragile upland vegetation; the Peak’s uplands are sensitive to erosion, and local groups maintain footpaths through volunteer work.
