To the south lies beautiful Dovedale, the idyllic setting for our holiday.


Your Excursions


FULL DAY

Into the heart of Dovedale today and the picturesque stone built village of Hartington, then on to the spa town of Buxton, with its gracious 18th century crescents and terraces, before returning across the bleak moors of the Roaches.


FULL DAY
A scenic day touring the limestone White Peak area of the Peak District with its deep dales, underground caverns and fields edged with drystone walls. We visit the popular tourist centre of Castleton, overlooked by Mam Tor, the 'shivering mountain'. Beneath a ruined hilltop castle, the village is surrounded by underground showcaves, where semi-precious Blue John stone is mined. In the afternoon we come to Bakewell, a popular tourist centre famous for its 'pudding'.

FULL DAY
A full day tour to visit the National Memorial Aboretum - 150 acres of trees and memorials devoted to the concept of Remembrance with 130 memorials of national significance. This afternoon to Lichfield where the magnificent three spired cathedral is well worth a visit.
