The Peak District National Park landscape is worth £426million to the local economy.
On an average August day, there are more visitors in the Peak District National Park than residents.
There are 10 times more sheep living in the Peak District National Park than people.
Published online by the Peak District National Park Authority, these statistics and much more information are now available in the new State of the Park report on http://www.peakdistrict.gov.uk. The website has been designed for residents researching Neighbourhood Plans, people setting up a new business, farmers needing agricultural data, for teachers and schoolchildren doing projects, university students, conservation and recreation groups, visitors, local politicians – in fact, anyone with an interest in the Peak District National Park.
The web-based report contains information on agriculture, business, climate change, deprivation, economy, employment, housing, industry, nature conservation, population, tourism, transport, recreation and more.
It is structured around four themes of Landscape, Welcoming (tourism and recreation), Communities and Economy, to tie in with the National Park Management Plan http://www.peakdistrict.gov.uk/npmp
The State of the Park report contains interactive tables, graphs, maps and data that show interesting elements about the national park, from broadband coverage to light pollution maps and much more.
