It's the perfect base for a day trip or weekend getaway, with plenty to explore both in the town itself and the surrounding countryside.

Just a short drive away, you'll find the magnificent Chatsworth House, where you can explore the grand house, stunning gardens, adventure playground and farmyard. Other nearby highlights include the dramatic stepping stones at Padley Gorge, the historic village of Eyam, and the spectacular caves and cable cars at Heights of Abraham.
