HIKE THE HILLS You will find maps and guide books in the cottage to help plan your days outside, from local walks around Matlock to numerous trails to explore - all very accessible by foot, bike...or pony (trekking centre just Nr Tissington)! And for something more challenging try High Tor, Matlock Dale and the Heights of Abraham.
TOUR THE TOWNS Matlock offers plenty of speciality shops to wander around & cafes to try (The Cosy Cafe gets a thumbs up) and theres a great park to let the dogs have a run and the kids to play, whilst the ancient town of Bakewell is a 15 minute drive and famous ofcourse, for it's Bakwell Pudding! There a lots of speciality shops to wander around and a great museum set out the way it would have looked centuries ago. Cromford is only a 10 minute drive away and is steeped in history, being listed as a World Heritage Site because of Sir Richard Arkwright credited for inventing the spinning frame.
VISIT THE ATTACTIONS Most famously is Chatsworth House and is only a short drive but close too and well worth a visit is Haddon Hall, one of Englands' finest examples of a medieval manor house. The younger kids will love Gullivers' Kingdom and The Heights of Abraham is for anyone (unless you don't like heights!) to enjoy the stunning scenery from high above in a cable car.
