Nov. 10, 2010 - PRLog -- The Peak District’s biggest accommodation and information website group Peak District online has this month launched online video feeds of some of the area’s best-loved towns and villages as part of a year-long programme to film more than 130 locations.

Drawing on its specialist knowledge of the region and using a professional video team, Peak District Online is creating a video catalogue that will give website visitors an entirely new view of their favourite destinations.
The Group’s online video portfolio to date includes 12 of the area’s most popular holiday destinations including Bakewell, Buxton and Ashbourne. Another 123 towns and villages are to be filmed over the next year in an ongoing project that will cost the company in excess of £150,000.
The distinctive limestone buildings and glorious surrounding countryside of these rural communities have been perfectly captured in what promises to become popular add-on to this much-visited Peak District portal.

Peak District Online’s owners James Dobson and Steve Wake said that the company was very excited about the new service:
“We have a huge market presence in the Peak District and this extension into online videos is a natural progression for our sites and means that we can give visitors a flavour of the region that words and pictures could never do.
“Businesses will be attracted by the dynamic way in which their home town or village is portrayed; we expect it to have a big impact on our viewing figures.”

Peak District Online is already the largest web portal for all aspects of the Peak District with more than 11,000 pages attracting 12 Million Hits per month making it uniquely placed to gauge the most-viewed settlements and holiday destinations, which it has included in this project.
As well as its flagship site http://www.peakdistrictonline.co.uk
