The Peak District was the first National Park to be established in England and is now the most visited in Britain. It a very popular place for self catering holidays as there is so much to do in the immediate area. Also the Peak district is in the Heart of England, so it makes a good base for exploring further afield.
There are good walks in all directions right on the doorstep. Miller's Dale and the Monsal Trail are one and a half miles away from the Hall and the Limestone Way is within half a mile. The Monsal, High Peak, Tissington and Manifold Trails are all disused railways given over to walking and cycling and are within easy reach. There are some of the finest country houses in England, Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall, Hardwick Hall and the historic village of Eyam within easy reach.
