Doe Lea

About this property

Doe Lea is a very handsome stone cottage in the midst of the lovely old leadmining village of Winster. You will be really pleased as you push open the front door and find the super interior. National Trust coloured decoration, oatmealy rugs on stone flagged floors, comfortable furniture and a glowing log burning stove make this a 'true country cottage'.

Clinging to the side of beautiful Wensley Dale, Winster is just as nice with its historic conservation area, jumbles of cottages and network of secret paths and alleyways each with their own name. Wander down 'Chip Shop Hill' to the sell anything village store, walk the 'Burma Road' to the Miners Standard for a super lunch, find 'East Bank' and the Bowling Green Inn for a drink and evening meal.

Both are lovely pubs but don't overstay their friendly welcome because you will need bright and early mornings to explore all the nearby attractions - Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall, Carsington Water and Castleton's Caverns, Bolsover Castle and South Wingfield Manor, Crich's Tramway Museum and Peak Rail's steam trains, tranquil Lathkill Dale and the wild moorlands of Kinder Scout - the list is endless!
