Chatsworth

The stunning Chatsworth Estate is only a 6 mile drive over the picturesque Beeley Moor, with its splendid House and Gardens and sprawling estate teeming with sheep and deer along the riverside…not forgetting an incredible farm shop!

Bakewell

The market town of Bakewell is only 8 miles away and has a lively agricultural centre with livestock auctions most Mondays to coincide with the open market in the town square. There are many independent/local shops and a beautiful riverside walk with an abundance of water wildlife to see. The Monsal Trail (path of the former Midlands Railway) is great for level walking and cycling and begins just outside Bakewell. For what’s on locally in Bakewell click here.

Walking in the Peaks

There are plenty of stunning walks a short drive away with too many to mention. Our favourite is Stanage Edge just outside Hathersage, an impressive grit stone edge where rock climbing, abseiling and paragliding are enjoyed as well as the stunning views!

Also Mam Tor and the picturesque town of Castleton is only 22 Miles away with lots of cavern trips such as Speedwell and Blue John for underground visits!

Entertainment and Days Out

Our nearest Cinema is Cineworld in Chesterfield.

We have The Crucible Theatre in Sheffield and the Buxton Opera House both a 45 minute drive away as well as The Pomegranate Theatre in Chesterfield only 20 minutes away.

Matlock Farm Park is on our doorstep and a fabulous day out with children!

For a great day out we are lucky to have two great nostalgic railways nearby. Within two miles we have Peak Rail and a bit further afield at Wirksworth we have The Ecclesbourne Valley Railway using heritage diesel railcars, and on selected days steam hauled services.

Crich Tramway Museum is also a great family day out with vintage tram rides, exhibitions, scenic walks and much more.
