Derbyshire Police and the National Trust have been approached for comment.
Good Morning @YvetteCooperMP it appears people are brawling and smacking each other with large tree branches at Dovedale Stepping Stones in the Peak District. Should families avoid the area? Best put some signs up saying please do not behave that way, as it’s not normal. pic.twitter.com/dJjHCdS6MR

A 25-year-old man told the MailOnline: “We were at the Stepping Stones and there was a bloke trying to cross it.
“There was one guy with a pushchair wanting to come across and all of a sudden it all kicked off.
“They were shouting at each other for a while before they started fighting and then they began picking up sticks.
“There were families there and children watching on.”
