6 Fidlers Close

About this property

6 Fidlers Close is a pleasant, pet-friendly cottage situated close to a railway station in Bamford, Peak District. This property has a south facing enclosed garden, and designated off-road parking for two SUV sized vehicles, making 6 Fidlers Close an ideal base for a family and one well-behaved pet on a Peak District getaway. After a successful hike (or bike) through the Hope Valley of the Peak District National Park, simply relax in the living/dining room, whilst a delicious meal is cooked from a kitchen that is equipped with an electric oven, gas hob, microwave, and fridge/freezer. Enjoy your culinary creation looking out on to the garden, and when the weather is kind – with the patio doors open. Then let the dishwasher take care of the plates etc., whilst you take advantage of the day’s final rays of sunshine in the enclosed garden. Welcome the evening with a film on the TV, before rinsing off the day in a bathroom while the washing machine does the same to your laundry, then fall into a double or single-with-trundle bed waiting to catch you. Soak up your surroundings at Bamford Edge, take a scenic stroll down to Ladybower Reservoir, then top off the day with a bite to eat at The Anglers Rest. Venture a little further afield for Sheffield to explore Kelham Island Museum, Millennium Gallery, and Sheffield Cathedral. Take a short drive to Buxton for the scenic hikes to Poole’s Cavern and Solomon’s Temple, then admire the gorgeous pieces in Buxton Museum & Art Gallery. Countryside and city adventures are around every corner when you book a stay at 6 Fidlers Close.

Bamford is a delightful Hope Valley village, with some wonderful walks and beautiful countryside, close to Hope and Hathersage, in the heart of the Peak District National Park. Bamford is surrounded by the Ladybower, Derwent and Howden Dams of Dambuster fame and makes for a lovely day out, either on foot or by bike, and the village offers lovely pubs, a shop, Post Office, bakery and regular bus and rail services to both Manchester and Sheffield. Just a short drive away is the pretty village of Castleton, which is home to fascinating caves, and is overlooked by the crumbling Mam Tor or Shivering Mountain, and from the remains of the hill fort at the top of Mam Tor, the dramatic scenery of Winnats Pass, Edale Valley and Edale itself, known as the start of the Pennine Way, can be viewed. Visit Hathersage to explore the churchyard and the grave of Little John (of Robin Hood fame) - whether he ever really existed is for you to decide, plus Hathersage vicarage is thought to be the inspiration for Charlotte Bronte’s famous novel Jane Eyre. Hathersage is also home to an open air heated swimming pool and a railway station with direct links to Manchester and Sheffield, or you can hop on a train from Bamford itself. Slightly further afield you can potter around the historic market town of Bakewell, or the Spa town of Buxton, renowned for its spring water and Opera House. It is easy to spend a whole day at Chatsworth House, while there are plenty of historic properties nearby, or pull on your boots and enjoy the spectacular scenery, with walks for all abilities from ambling along the banks of the River Derwent to climbing the hillside paths and scrambling over the fascinating rock formations. The perfect base for exploring the Peak District.
