The site was donated to Derbyshire Wildlife Trust by landowners, who wished to remain anonymous.

A wildlife trust is celebrating after it was gifted 600 acres of land, the largest piece of land it has ever secured.

The site at Eyam Moor - which covers an area equivalent to about 375 football pitches in the Wild Peak - is crossed by a number of footpaths and will be free for the public to visit, while being managed by Derbyshire Wildlife Trust.

The trust said the new site would form part of a wildlife corridor spanning more than 1,000 acres and encompasses a variety of habitats.
