A number of quaint dwellings, many of which have been built in a
characterful Swiss-lodge style, a church, village hall and the
beautiful parkland of Ilam Hall populates the village. Although the
hall itself has been converted into a Youth Hostel, the parkland is
owned by the National Trust and can be explored all-year-round and
offers a tearoom and shop.
Within walking distance of the scenic Dovedale Valley and its
famous stepping stones, and in easy driving distance from the
historical market town of Ashbourne
and the quaint village of Tissington,

location for exploring the many attractions of the southern
Peak District.
