Derbyshire Cottages
Slap bang in the middle of the UK, our Derbyshire
holiday cottages are welcome retreats whatever the time of
year. From family adventures and romantic escapes in the Peak
District to a cultural and shopping break with friends in Derby,
this wonderful county offers the finest blend of ingredients to
keep everyone happy.
See & do near your Derbyshire cottage
Get out and about in the Peak District, Britain's first
national park, a sprawling region of scenic delights mostly set
within Derbyshire's boundaries. Set out from the popular
visitor centre of Castleton and ramble, cycle or ride a plethora of
traffic-free paths across dales, hills, moors and valleys. (Why not
walk with like-minded souls and time your Derbyshire cottage
holiday around a walking festival?) Scale sheer rock faces and
soaring edges, or head deep down into a labyrinth of underground
caverns. Bring binoculars for feathery encounters with many kinds
of birds, irons for a round of golf or a wetsuit for windsurfing on
Carsington Water. Or follow the trail of Hollywood film locations.
So much here to discover!
Another reason to consider a self-catering stay in Derbyshire is
to sample the many manmade attractions. Take your pick from
historic houses and glorious gardens like the Chatsworth Estate,
Hardwick Hall or the Pavilion Gardens, attractive settlements with
fancy architecture like the spa town of Buxton, industrial heritage
like Derwent Valley Mills - not to mention delicious local
delicacies like Bakewell Pudding. And if you have younger ones
tagging along, all the thrills of Alton Towers are just over the
border in Staffordshire.
Here you will find cottages throughout Derbyshire, including in
The Peak
District, in towns and villages like Castleton, Bakewell, Buxton, Belper
and Matlock, and in the city
of Derby . If
