With plenty of parking space in front of the cottage, there’s no need to drive as there are amazing walks straight from your doorstep. From there you can take the footpath up to the Great ridge and to Lose Hill, Hollins Cross and the shivering Mountain that is Mam Tor. Spectacular views over the Hope Valley are aplenty. From there you can return to the farm through Castleton or pop down to Edale which is very pretty too. Castleton is only a fifteen minute walk from the cottage and has numerous high quality pubs and locally produced eateries and there’s much to see. More commonly known for its Blue John Mines, a must do visit is to walk to Peveril Castle which is steeped in history and has stunning views of the town and surrounding valley.
You can, of course, travel further afar as there is much to do in the Peak District whether walking, cycling or as a visiting sightseer - you’re spoilt for choice. You’ll want to enjoy one of the great days out in Derbyshire and the Peak District. There are many attractions in the area: beautiful Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall in the market town of Bakewell; the spar town of Buxton with its Opera House, beautiful Pavilion Gardens and Gallery in the Gardens annual event; and Matlock Bath which is nearby with stunning views from the Heights of Abraham and the Derwent Valley World Heritage Site that is Cromford Mills and the National Tramway Museum.
