About Jo

Hello! I’m Jo! Welcome to The Wandering Wildflower, an outdoors lifestyle blog focusing on family walks in the Peak District, a place we love exploring. I want to share the Peak District hidden gems and show you there’s so much more than the honeypot places, as well as Lake District walks and walking weekend ideas.

I hope this blog will give you some ideas of the best Peak District walks, and inspire you and your family to head into the great outdoors. Thanks for stopping by!
