Ashbourne is a picturesque town located just south of the Peak District Park, with its array of stunning attractions and amenities to offer, as well as breath taking views of the natural landscape, it is a wonderful destination to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Just a stone’s throw away lies Wooton Lodge, Ilam Park, and the limestone structure Reynard’s Cave, which is situated on the easter bank of the gorge of Dovedale and overlooks an appealing view. Thrill seekers should venture further to Stoke-on-Trent where they can spend an extraordinary day riding rollercoasters at Alton Towers Resort, or take a day trip to The Trentham Estate, home to its very own Monkey Forest and Treetop Adventures. Peak Wildlife Park and Rudyard Lake resides further afield in the market town of Leek, home to speciality producers of condiments, confectionary, wines, and craft beers, you can source everything you need to compliment your stay. Encompassed in the stunning heart of Derbyshire, enjoy all of this and more by booking Sycamore Cottage.

Ashbourne, which is located at the southernmost point of the Peak District, is the epitome of an English market town, complete with a market place with stalls, an odd street layout, winding cobblestone lanes, coaching inns, and almshouses. The town was a sophisticated social hub during its prime in the 18th century, and many lovely Georgian structures from this period still stand today. The town is still known as something of a sanctuary for antique hunters today and still has a lot to offer in terms of restaurants and inns, but don't expect a deal! The Dove and Manifold Valleys are nearby for those who prefer more outdoor activities, while Alton Towers, with its thrilling collection of thrills and attractions, is only a short drive away for thrill seekers.
