The Peak District is a beautiful - yet relatively affordable - part of the UK to set up camp.

The average home sells for £287,374, with terraced properties going for around £197,316.

The most expensive properties in the area are detached homes which fetch around £483,653, according to Rightmove.

There is lots to do in the area, including countryside walks and hikes, and rivers and reservoirs to explore.

"Plan your next break to the Peak District and Derbyshire and discover a place of wild peaks and rugged moorland with views that stretch forever," Visit Peak District states.

"A place of chocolate-box villages nestling in gentle countryside, with the prettiest cottages and dogs lazing by the pub fire.

"Explore country houses, castles and the stateliest of stately homes, and find the most welcoming market towns, with quality independent shops and delicious local food and drink."

Many celebrities own homes in quiet parts of the UK, giving them a break from the glitz and glamour of their careers.
