Country cottages surrounded by historic places to explore

Aldwark is perhaps best known for the numerous Neolithic burial sites that can be found close by. The most popular of these is Minninglow, a hill which lies just over a mile outside of Aldwark and is recognisable from afar thanks to the trees circling it. It’s well worth visiting as the trail leading to the burial site is very picturesque.

A short drive away are the town of Matlock and the village of Matlock Bath. In both places you’ll find plenty of places to eat and drink, as well as lots of shops and family-friendly attractions. Gulliver’s Kingdom is a family-friendly theme park aimed at children aged 3-13 and The Heights of Abraham is a hilltop park reached by cable car that features two show caverns where guided mine tours are available.

Of course, if you’re staying in Aldwark you’ll want to explore the Peak District, an upland area known for its outstanding natural beauty and breathtaking views. It was the first national park established in the country and is currently one of the most popular, attracting some 10 million people a year from all walks of life. The great thing about the Peak District is that there’a always something going on. Whether you prefer being active or taking things a bit more slowly, you’re sure to have an enjoyable and memorable time here.
