Things to do, places to go...

There are many beautiful walks starting from within the village, and it is possible to walk over the hills (only about one mile) to the top of the Heights of Abraham and the cable cars at Matlock Bath. Apart from the magnificent walking scenery many interesting venues are only a short drive away.

Local attractions include:
Carsington Water
Chatsworth House
Haddon Hall
Crich Tramway Museum, Crich
Gulliver’s Kingdom, Matlock Bath

These all provide great family days out within easy driving distance.

There are plenty of information leaflets in the cottage containing detail of all the above suggestions, and much more, to keep you entertained during your stay.

The market towns of Bakewell, Ashbourne and Chesterfield are all within 30 minutes in a car.

The charming Derbyshire tradition of Well Dressings are in evidence throughout the summer months and Bonsall hold theirs together with the village carnival in the last week of July.
