The Potting Shed Pet Friendly Cottage, Wormhill, Peak District - Wormhill, Derbyshire, England

Outside

 Outside there is a country garden with sun deck and barbeque and garden furniture. Very little traffic passes the cottage as the road is only used for access to local cottages and 2 farms. The garden is quiet and peaceful and commands beautiful views across the hills to Rushup Edge. You can frequently see the hang gliders that soar from the top of Mam Tor. Parking is on the driveway right outside the cottage. There are also laundry facilities at the rear of the cottage for you to use at no charge.

Shopping and the local area

 Shopping and amenities such as restaurants, banks, chemists and doctors are available in the nearby village of Tideswell (2 miles), or the town of Buxton (4 miles). Tideswell has a fish and chip shop to beat all others and also still has local butcher and greengrocers. The cottage is well placed for touring the Peak District on foot or by car. For those that like a challenge there are the high moorlands that make up the hills of the Peak District – Kinder Scout, Stanage Edge, Bleaklow, Axe Edge are all areas that will challenge and delight you. For those of you who prefer a gentler walk there are numerous dales such as Millers Dale, Lathkill Dale, the Goyt Valley and Derwent Valley to visit. Numerous picturesque and historic villages can be visited on foot or by car, such as Edale, Eyam and Castleton. The market town of Bakewell is only 8 miles away with its river walks and famous Pudding Shop; Buxton is just 4 miles away for exploring the delightful Pavilion Gardens and visiting the beautifully restored Opera House which offers a wide ranging programme all year round. There are also many stately homes in the area, the most famous being Chatsworth House, home of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire. Apart from the house and its gardens there are miles of parkland to walk in free of charge, and there is also a farm shop and garden centre, both outside of the main house so there is no entrance charge. Within the grounds there is a farm and children’s adventure playground. Other houses in the area include Haddon hall, Lyme Park and Tatton Park. The cities of Manchester and Sheffield are both reached easily by train or car. For those who want to indulge in a bit of retail therapy the malls of Meadowhall and the Trafford Centre are accessible in about an hour.
