If you're looking for a holiday in the picturesque English countryside with rolling green hills, delightful dales and tiny riverside villages, Derbyshire would make the ideal destination. Instead of being confined to a cramped hotel room in a town, why not rent a holiday cottage in the heart of the countryside? Self-catering accommodation gives you the space to store your hiking gear as well as the freedom to cook the food that your family enjoys best, whenever it suits you. Renting a cottage or apartment in a village brings you closer to the Derbyshire dales and attractions of the countryside.

The county of Derbyshire is the perfect destination for lovers of the countryside. The hills and dales of the Peak District are a delight for walkers and hikers as well as birdwatchers. Why not visit the caverns at Castleton, the only place where the colourful Blue John stone is found? Admirers of stately homes and art will certainly be impressed by Chatsworth House, home to the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire. Interested in ancient history? Don't miss the Arbor Low stone circle that dates from the Bronze Age and then there's the tradition of well dressings, which can only be seen in Derbyshire.
