Derbyshire

Like the county itself, you’re likely to be almost completely occupied by the luminous expanse of the Peak District. Endless scenic walking and cycling routes ripple across the national park, including a stretch of the Pennine Way, taking in ancient forests and lonely moors, dramatic ridges and pretty towns. Our hand-picked selection of special places to stay include welcoming B&B’s, smart hotels and cosy cottages that all serve as launchpads for exploring Derbyshire. Perhaps you’ll visit Bakewell for a taste of the famous tart, Melbourne for a riverside ramble or historic Ashbourne for a pint of ale. Overlooked by the atmospheric ruins of Peveril Castle, Castleton is the gateway to Hope Valley’s most memorable landscapes.
