Snake Pass - although could be a bit brutal this time of year, spectacular though http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake_Pass
Anywhere around Hope is lovely (home of the cycle kit manufacturer of the same name)
Some very good MTB trails round there.
Buxton is a bit of a like Torquay of the north, but full of bikers - so I'd avoid it.
