Our farm is superbly located for all the Peak District has to offer. Just a mile and a half from 3 lovely villages, Alstonefield, Wetton and Hulme End all with pubs serving delicious food. Hartington is just 4 miles away with its Old Cheese Shop and plenty of eating places. Close to Dovedale, Alton Towers (amazing theme park), Bakewell (great for yummy Bakewell Pudding), Carsington Water and Chatsworth. On the farm we have lambing in the Spring, followed by cows calving, then there's sheep shearing, haymaking and silaging. Along with their parents children are welcome to help bottle feed young lambs, help feed and water the expectant mothers and collect eggs for breakfast in the morning if the hens are laying. Certain times of the year are busier than others on the farm so what there is to see can vary, please feel free to enquire when booking your holiday.

About the neighbourhood
Alstonefield has won the best village award many times in the past. It is a stunning village with a close knit community who are always friendly and willing to help. Alstonefield is actually built on a limestone plateau, which is 900 feet above sea level, making for lovely views. There is a popular old coaching inn just in front of the old wool market, and shops that used to thrive on the silk industry, making silk buttons! It is a wonderful village, with craft shops and galleries to potter about in as well as being the link to the wonderful countryside all around. Great central location. Near to Chatsworth House, Sudbury Hall, Alton Towers, Matlock Bath, Carsington Water, Crich Tramway Museum. Dale walks, cycle trails and climbing ,
Getting around
The Moorlands Connect bus can be booked - collection at the end of the Drive - destination is to small villages and town Nearest train station is at Buxton 15 miles Buses from Hartington 4 miles away
