Peak District
The Peak District is an upland area in central and northern England, lying mainly in northern Derbyshire, but also covering parts of Cheshire, Greater Manchester and Staffordshire and South and West Yorkshire.
An area of great diversity, it is conventionally split into the northern Dark Peak, where most of the moorland is found and whose geology is gritstone, and the southern White Peak, where most of the population lives and where the geology is mainly limestone-based.
Most of the area falls within the Peak District National Park, whose designation in 1951 made it the first national park in the United Kingdom.

"Cakes of Bread" - Peak District
The Cakes of Bread are named unsurprisingly as that is exactly what they appear to be, bread cakes in Derbyshire terms as you approach it from afar. It is a smaller outcrop than The Wheel Stones, but is far more striking, again formed by erosion, the locals have named these rocks and the names have stuck that well that they are actually shown on the OS maps.
