Obviously you are in easy reach of all the many Peak District attractions. .Whatever your age or interests, whether walking, (many routes from the door), fishing, bird watching, cycling, horse riding, sight seeing, photography or simply enjoying peace and quiet, you will find this a perfect place to take a break.

Excellent local routes for mountain bikers, fell runners, and walkers on the doorstep. Gritstone crags and limestone face routes for rock climbers both within a 10 minute drive.
