Wedged between the White and Dark Peak areas of the National Park, our Edale cottages are the gateway to all kinds of outdoor enjoyment.
The small, sleepy vale of Edale sits in the shadow of the Kinder Scout plateau - the Park's highest point - making it a haven for hardy walkers. Edale is also located at the southern end of the Pennine Way, the classic, long-distance route to Scotland. Walkers generally congregate at the Old Nag's Head, featuring beams, open fires, cask ales and traditional food - it's been around since the 16th Century and the Pennine Way starts at the front door.
For a less strenuous option, or if you're travelling with children, there are a good number of walks around the valley. Just make your way to the Moorland Centre for useful information, interactive displays, talks and guided walks.
Adrenalin-pumping activities near your Edale cottage...
Speed down the slopes on mountain bikes. Learn how to rock climb. Or do something really daring and hang-glide off Mam Tor.
If you plan to book an Edale cottage in June, don't miss the Edale Country Day, a small country show featuring brass and silver bands, various farm animals, country dance displays and interesting craft demonstrations. Other events include Jazz in the Field, Edale Fell Race and Edale Barrel Race Family Fun Day.
What else? A couple more cosy pubs, café, village shop and Post Office and a small parish church. Just about everything you need for a relaxing holiday in this beautiful corner of Britain. If you still haven't found your perfect break you can check out these other Peak District cottages.
