Just a few miles away lies the historic market town of Ashbourne, often referred to as the “Gateway to the Peak District.” Its cobbled streets are lined with independent shops, traditional pubs, and cosy cafés, making it ideal for a leisurely wander or a hearty meal after a day exploring.
The spectacular limestone valley of Dovedale is within easy reach, famous for its iconic stepping stones and breathtaking walking routes. The surrounding hills provide panoramic views across the Peak District National Park, offering endless opportunities for walkers, cyclists and nature lovers.
For waterside adventures, Carsington Water offers sailing, paddleboarding, cycling trails and birdwatching, along with a visitor centre and café, perfect for families and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
Thrill-seekers will enjoy a day out at Alton Towers, while younger guests will love Gulliver’s Kingdom, a family-friendly theme park designed especially for children.
For memorable sightseeing experiences, take a cable car ride to the Heights of Abraham for spectacular views and cavern tours, or explore the magnificent stately home and gardens at Chatsworth House, one of the country’s most celebrated historic estates.
The elegant spa town of Buxton offers impressive architecture and cultural events, while Matlock and nearby Matlock Bath provide riverside walks, independent shops and traditional seaside-style attractions.
