Ref: 770 Clinkum 
FROGHALL Ashbourne 11 miles; Leek 8 miles. Froghall lies in the beautiful wooded slopes of the Churnet Valley, in the Staffordshire Moorlands and on the southern fringe of the Peak District. The village has a pub, which serves food, and the nearby hamlet of Foxt has a village shop/Post Office and pub also serving good food. It's an excellent base for a holiday, with a vast selection of walks for all abilities on the doorstep. There are also fascinating relics of the area's industrial heritage - the Caldon canal (built in 1776 and restored and opened for navigation in 1974) runs through the valley and visitors will enjoy a scenic ride on the Churnet Valley Railway steam trains. A great touring base for exploring all of the Peak District and the Staffordshire Moorlands - Alton Towers is just a 10 minute drive away and the nearby Potteries are well worth a visit. FOXTWOOD COTTAGES Froghall 0.5 miles.
A group of individual holiday properties situated in a wonderful rural setting at Froghall Wharf in the delightful Churnet Valley. The properties overlook the Caldon Canal, with its newly restored lock and basin moorings, and lie within 30 acres of grounds which include a private fishing lake, woodland, meadows and a small stream. A paradise for nature lovers - if you are lucky you will see kingfishers, herons, buzzards and deer - and the wild flowers are beautiful in the spring and early summer. There are dozens of walks in the area, including those along the canal towpath. The cottages are all recently built but in traditional canalside style with archways leading to a central courtyard. The accommodation has been equipped, furnished and decorated to a very high standard and they make a superb location for an "away from it all" type holiday at any time of the year. They can be booked together to accommodate larger family groups of up to 20. The owners also live on site with their family and friendly pets. They have a good knowledge of the local area and will be pleased to share this information with you, to ensure you have an enjoyable and memorable stay.

Mr & Mrs Crawley, Abbots Langley, Hertfordshire
Aug 2005 | The location was excellent. The owners were very friendly and helpful without being imposing. The underfloor heating was an excellent idea. Constant hot water also excellent particularly in view of the number of people accommodated. The provision of towels and toiletries was very unexpected considering we have stayed in many different cottages previously. Laundry room very well used! Good size table for 10. Lovely views and parking was excellent too.

Dec 2004 | Excellent doesn't do this holiday home justice. We could not fault it. Home from home, amazing location, perfect holiday.
Mr & Mrs Handy, Redditch, Worcs
Nov 2004 | Fantastic place for my 2 yr old son and his best friend. The owners supplied them with plenty of toys to play with. We loved the water feature and the dog thoroughly enjoyed the walks round the lake. We all enjoyed the Churnet Valley Steam train journey and a day out at the American Adventure Theme Park
Mrs Bigham, Kilwinning, North Ayrshire
Jul 2004 | Clinkum is brilliant, but Froghall could not claim to be the greatest spot on earth, however the easy and quick access to the moors, walking places, towns and the great houses of Derbyshire makes it a very good holiday centre
Mr Gray, London,
May 2004 | My friends and I were very impressed with the decor and location of Wharfe and Clinkum. The owners were friendly and helpful. The property was warm and had all the facilities we needed. It was fantastic to wake up and watch the ducks in the pond and observe Sid the swan. We had some nice walks along the canal and in the local area. We had a lovely weekend and many of the group commented on quality of the cottages. Thanks!
