There are farmers’ and regular weekly markets in many of the nearby towns including Bakewell and Ashbourne. Alton Towers, Britain’s premier theme park, is close by.

Water sports enthusiasts can enjoy the excellent facilities at Carsington Water, whilst Shipley Country Park has miles of meandering footpaths and bridleways. At the Midland Railway Centre, transport enthusiasts can take in the nostalgia of the age of steam and travel through countryside for 7 miles. Meanwhile the National Tramway Museum at Crich offers a family day out in a relaxing atmosphere of a bygone era, and the Midland Railway Centre is within walking distance.
Stately homes gracing the area include Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall (a fine medieval manor house) and Hardwick Hall and Kedleston Hall (a fine example of the architecture of Robert Adam). All in all a fantastic base to explore this wonderful area.

We had a very enjoyable and relaxing Christmas break at White Heather Barn. A very comfortable home with everything you could possibly need. Hot tub was lovely and warm to relax in. Lots of nice walks and places to visit in the area .Heather was very helpful with everything and the lovely Christmas cake and wine was very nice touch. Would love to visit again 🙂
