Accommodation overview: Set on the edge of the beautiful Peak District National Park, this attractive and spacious house with its own garden is just a short drive from Matlock, a fine Derbyshire Dales town with many attractions for visitors. Adjoining the owner’s home and other barns, Park Hill Farm has been carefully converted from a traditional stone-built barn and provides very comfortable and well-equipped holiday accommodation, making an ideal base for exploring the Derbyshire Dales and Peaks. Matlock, once a spa town, is now a popular Regency resort and boasts a steam railway, wonderful tow-path walks, cycle trails and canal-boat hire. Along the valley, set among woods and limestone cliffs, is Matlock Bath, where a cable car spans the gorge to the Heights of Abraham. Here are fascinating show caverns demonstrating the earth’s history and the local lead mining industry, dating back to Roman times. Gulliver’s Kingdom provides entertainment for the children, while in the Pavilion there is an aquarium and Lead Mining Museum. Within easy reach are several historic houses to visit. Among them is Chatsworth House, a splendid classical mansion and one of England’s great stately homes, with a fine collection of paintings, sculpture and furniture as well as impressive gardens; and Haddon Hall, a beautifully restored medieval manor house. Around the Matlocks, the countryside is steeped in history, with many old buildings, Norman churches and stone circles to intrigue the visitor. The Derbyshire Dales boasts some of England’s loveliest river valleys, those of the Derwent, the Wye and the Dove, while the High Peaks offer dramatic and rugged scenery, perfect for walking and riding. Locally there are plenty of sporting activities, including tennis, riding, golf and fishing, and sailing on the nearby Carsington Water. Shop and pub serving food 2 miles.
