Ipstones

This delightful village lies in the Staffordshire Moorlands, on the edge of the spectacular Peak District. A holiday cottage in Ipstones gives you easy access to some of the region’s most idyllic countryside and the chance to unwind in a traditional farming community which is largely untouched by tourism. Ipstones’ dramatic location makes it an atmospheric choice for self-catering holidays in the Peak District. To the north of the village, Ipstones Edge rises to 1,250 feet, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding moorland. In the centre of this welcoming community, you’ll discover pretty cottages and businesses, many of which are built from local sandstone. There’s a church, school, railway station, corner shop and three cosy pubs to choose from. Ipstones is located just to the north of Churnet Valley and just to the south of the national park border, making it a great base for long walks, horse-riding and wildlife-watching.
