Self-Catering Holiday Cottages in Derbyshire
Visitors to Derbyshire will find a rich mix of large and small Derbyshire self-catering holiday accommodation to enjoy a holiday any time of the year. Most visitors opt to stay in a Derbyshire holiday cottage to enjoy the delights of the Peak District, whether on foot by bike or in a car. If walking this natural marvel is not enough, adventurous visitors can go potholing in limestone caves and climb down the Hope Valley. You might even try paintball at Wild Park Leisure in Ashbourne. If you fancy swimming, why not book a luxury Derbyshire holiday cottage with a pool?
Culture lovers should head to Buxton, a historic spa town of Buxton with its wonderful Opera House, Pavilion, and grand Victorian architecture. They should also take time to visit Chatsworth House and Gardens near Bakewell, which has beautiful lakes, cascading waterfalls, and views of rural Derbyshire. While Chatsworth is regarded as the best and most impressive of England's stately homes, the lesser-known but equally impressive Kedleston Hall, also located in Derbyshire near Quarndon, will give Chatsworth a good run for its money. Visit both and decide for yourselves!
Within the Peak District, walkers and cyclists will find some excellent trails, such as the High Peak Trail or the Tissington Trail, for exploring on foot or by bicycle. Some of these have been converted from railway lines closed by Dr. Beeching and are now enjoying a new life as scenic trails through the Derbyshire Countryside.
