3 Days of Pubs, Plants and Pies in the Peak District & Derbyshire 3 days of pubs, plants and pies in the Peak District & Derbyshire Exploring the Peak District and Derbyshire’s hidden food and garden gems Itinerary highlights Spend three charming days exploring the epic and magnificent countryside of the Peak District and discover the wonderful cuisine of the county. We’ve compiled some of the best things to do in and around Derbyshire, including: ● Photographing Monsal Head along the popular Monsal Trail and relaxing with a picnic ● Lunching in a former railway station, the aptly named Station Cafe ● Losehill House Hotel and Spa for rejuvenation and relaxation ● Enjoying a wild bite to eat at The Orangery restaurant or a traditional Bakewell Pudding in The Old Original Bakewell Pudding Shop ● Marvelling Haddon Hall’s enchanting splendour ● A quaint night’s stay at the Devonshire Arms ● Experiencing home-brewed beer at Thornbridge Hall and Gardens ● Fine dining at Fischer’s Baslow Hall What to expect from your trip Being a protected area of gorgeous natural beauty and the UK’s first national park, there is something truly special about the captivating scenery and character of The Peak District and Derbyshire. Endless views and picturesque villages are synonymous with this part of the country, offering any visitor the very definition of sublime English countryside. The epic landscape is an experience in itself with a mix of rich greenery cascading across rolling hills, a soft purple glow of heather moorland and unusual rock edge formations. Natural beauty at its most powerful. Discover epic views, contrastingly manicured gardens, quaint villages and plenty of gourmet food with this three-day itinerary aimed at making the most of your visit to the Peak District and Derbyshire. Day 1: Bakewell & Hope Valley MORNING: MONSAL TRAIL Start off in the heart of The Peak District at the Hassop Station. Saddle up and hire bikes before embarking on the glorious Monsal Trail. This picturesque stretch of disused railway line and tunnels runs for eight-and-a-half miles and follows the valley of the River Wye. Dotted along the way you’ll come across several points of interest, such as the Monsal Dale, Monsal Viaduct and Monsal Head, one of the most photographed viewpoints in the area. A particular highlight is taking a moment to admire both the River Wye running through limestone dales and the historic viaduct in all their glory. With such breathtaking scenery and plenty of places for the most perfect picnic spots, stop for some light refreshments and take in the epic views. LUNCH: STATION CAFÉ If a picnic is not your preference, return your bikes at Hassop Station and stop at the Station Cafe for a hearty, and very well-deserved lunch. A former railway station, Hassop Station has been transformed into an elegant café overlooking the Monsal Trail. The cafe menu offers a wonderful selection of delicious food and snacks that have been locally sourced from around the county and made fresh on the day. In addition to the cafe, there is also a brimming bookshop and gift shop, where we encourage you to pick up some souvenirs before you leave to remind you of your trip. AFTERNOON & EARLY EVENING: LOSEHILL HOUSE HOTEL AND SPA After lunch and for the rest of the afternoon, you should now be feeling fully refreshed and rejuvenated. If not, we’ve got just the remedy. Take a leisurely drive to Losehill House Hotel and Spa nestled between Lose Hill and Win Hill. Dubbed ‘the best kept secret in the Peak District’, this wonderful hotel is hidden in the heart of the district against a backdrop of rolling hills. Losehill House is the only four-star hotel in the area and the ultimate treat to recharge and invigorate your mind, body and soul. The spa includes a luxurious indoor heated pool, sauna and outdoor hot tub offering panoramic views of the hills, in addition to a list of lavish spa treatments. Wrap up in that sumptuous robe, put on your fluffy slippers and fully relax during your stay. EVENING – THE ORANGERY RESTAURANT R&R can be hungry work, so after taking all that time to unwind in the spa, enjoy a beautifully presented, and equally delicious meal in The Orangery. The restaurant’s award- winning menu is fresh and seasonal, sourcing local ingredients wherever possible, offering an authentic taste of England and its fantastic produce. The Orangery has also been named one of the 20 best wild places to eat in Britain by The Times. Meals here are bold, colourful and full of flavour. After an unforgettable three-course meal (or seven-course meal if you’re especially hungry) savour a quick night-cap at the bar and retreat to the comfort of your stylish and cosy bedroom for a good night’s rest. Day 2: Bakewell & Pilsley MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON: HADDON HALL & BAKEWELL Leaving the Hope Valley bright and early, head to the quintessential English market town of Bakewell. Set along the banks of the River Wye, quaint stone buildings and picturesque courtyards decorate the landscape, creating the most idyllic scenery. Heading just two miles south of Bakewell, you will find the enchanting Haddon Hall, a medieval manor house nestled in terraced gardens overlooking the River Wye. It’s hard to believe that this elegant estate was once abandoned and had stood neglected for some two hundred years before being rescued and restored by the 9th Duke and Duchess of Rutland in the 1920s. It should come as no surprise that this estate has been the location of many well known films such as ‘The Other Boleyn Girl’, ‘Jane Eyre’ and ‘Pride & Prejudice.’ Thanks to continuous restoration and care, Haddon Hall is now the elegant stately home that we see today and is begging to be explored and admired by all. You’ll be enveloped by the immersive history, captivated by the Tudor architecture and will marvel the authentic 17th century kitchen. Take time to wander the immaculate courtyard and gorgeous gardens and imagine a romantic time gone by that’s lovingly kept alive by the generous custodians. After a busy morning, head to The Square in the village, and find The Old Original Bakewell Pudding Shop for the town’s namesake and world-famous treat. After all, you can’t visit Bakewell without trying a Bakewell Pudding! There is also a gift shop with a selection of lovely treats and souvenirs, and you can even buy an Original Bakewell Pudding to take home with you... if you can wait that long. EVENING: THE DEVONSHIRE ARMS AT THE CHATSWORTH ESTATE For a charming country stay, head to The Devonshire Arms at Pilsley, a traditional English 18th Century inn located on the famous Chatsworth Estate. The Chatsworth House is a short drive away, or a picturesque walk if you would rather take in the scenery firsthand. This traditional country pub serves food from the nearby farm shop alongside local ales, meaning dinner will definitely be a charmingly special experience. You have a choice of thirteen rooms in which to stay, each with their own style, but with luxury and comfort being the priority. If you would like that extra bit of opulence, why not stay in one of the four poster farmhouse rooms? Designed by the Duchess of Devonshire herself, these rooms are delightfully traditional and fitted to the highest standard. Day 3: Bakewell & Rowsley MORNING: THORNBRIDGE HALL & GARDENS Next stop is the impressive Thornbridge Hall & Gardens. The house itself is a Grade II listed Jacobean country house, with 12 acres of quintessentially English gardens. The garden is divided into specific areas, the Water garden, Koi Lake and the Italian garden, in amongst three temples, various statues and two grottos. Most significant of these gardens is the immaculate terraced lawns. Standing from the house and looking out across the perfectly preened gardens to the countryside beyond is a truly special experience. In addition to these beautiful gardens, there is a brewery located within the grounds of Thornbridge Hall; you can’t miss the earthy smell of fermented hops! The first craft beers were produced in 2005 right here in the grounds of Thornbridge Hall, and you can also take a guided tour of the brewery to see exactly how these fine ales are brewed. LUNCH: FISCHER’S BASLOW HALL Once upon a time, Fischer’s at Baslow Hall used to be a charming little manor house on the outskirts of Baslow, in the heart of the Peak District. Today, it’s still just as charming as ever and is a stunning boutique hotel that makes for the perfect lunch stop. The award-winning chef creates spectacular dishes using the finest local ingredients. Food here in this Michelin star restaurant has a flare of classic French with all the heartiness of fresh Derbyshire produce. It’s worth noting that many of the vegetables are tended from the kitchen garden. The vibe is relaxed and friendly, so take your time, unwind and savour the wonderful atmosphere and a hearty meal and a glass of crisp wine. Any good dinner deserves a long, refreshing stroll afterwards. Fortunately, Fischer’s Baslow Hall is a stone’s throw from many iconic walks, which are an absolute must for any visitor and the perfect way to round off your trip. Summary There you have it – three wonderful days in and around the Peak District and Derbyshire! Follow this itinerary and we guarantee that you’ll get your fill of good, wholesome food, local delicacies, an abundance of history and culture, plus plenty of good beer and wine from the county. Of course, there is so much more to explore and experience in the Peak District, but for that, you’ll need a longer trip.

  • A Year in the Life of the Village During the Pandemic
    1 Header April 2021 Body of text A YEAR IN THE LIFE OF THE VILLAGE DURING THE PANDEMIC As this edition of the News is published just over a year after the first national lockdown, I thought it would be good to remind ourselves of all the amazing support and lockdown activities that have taken place. I refer to some individuals by name but please forgive the fact that I am unable to name check everyone. As we went into the first lockdown the Parish Council provided funds for some mobile phones and the shop swung into action setting up prescription and food delivery/emergency help Whatsapp groups as well as establishing a team of street wardens to keep a check on any residents who may not have had access to social media. Both prescription delivery from Eyam and street wardens are still in operation. Peter O’Brien, our District Councillor, kept us posted on information from Derbyshire County Council and, most importantly for many of us, details of bin collections! Even during these difficult times stalwart volunteers, along with managers Sarah and Andrew kept the shop open and it even went online. The virtual shop idea which evolved from that is developing further and will hopefully mean an expanded range of goods available online sometime over the summer. Our local Spar (White’s)introduced a delivery service which along with our shop provided a lifeline to those who were shielding and found it impossible to get a delivery from one of the large supermarkets. It was hard to go hungry when Terry from the Sir William decided to start fish and chip Friday with delivery by Diane and Bob Wilson and John and Pauline Bowman.

His photo is of a Spring Starflower or Springstar , part of the onion and amyrillis family. The flowers are honey scented, which is no doubt what attracted the ant. Alfie is a keen photographer with his own Olympus DSLR camera, and this scene caught his eye under a large yew tree at the bottom of Church Lane. His creativity is not limited just to photography: Alfie loves cats and in Year 5 he and a friend made a comic called Cat Man! A total of 39 people took part in our photographic competition this year and we hope you had fun and found it an interesting challenge. We have all had to adapt our ways of doing things over the last year and transferring this competition to an online format, though different, has been a great success. Now that we are beginning to open up and get back to our normal lives, maybe this is the blueprint for the future of the competition? 39 people submitted a total of 124 photographs across the four categories, with nearly 100 taking part in voting for their favourite entry.

  • Mansions, Mills and Master Gardeners
    Barrington Community School and Barrington Garden Club present Mansions, Mills and Master Gardeners June 1st - 9th 2018 The Peak District National Park covers 555 square miles right in the center of Britain, straddling the Pennine Mountain range, known as the “Backbone of England.” Created in 1951 it was the first National Park in the country and is remarkable not only for its natural beauty, but also because it exists in the midst of the country’s industrial heartland. We make our base for this tour in the charming town of Buxton, a Victorian spa town, in the very center of the park and famous for its annual opera festival. Buxton is also within easy striking distance of Manchester International Airport, and its central location means that we can do the whole tour from this one base, Mam Tor, Peak District with daily excursions to sites all around. We have included a fascinating array of visits that highlight the contrast between the natural beauty of the countryside and the industrial heartland that surrounds it. From the variety of gardens of the stately homes spanning several centuries, to one of the country’s foremost industrial heritage sites, the Quarry Bank Mill at Styal and the Wedgwood factory museum in the heart of the Potteries, we will explore the region in depth – “warts and all,” as they say. For many though, the highlight of this tour will be the day we spend at the home of the Dukes of Devonshire - Chatsworth House, known as the Palace of the Peaks. Chatsworth has recently become the stage for the Royal Horticultural Society’s latest flower show that, some say, rivals The Chelsea Flower Show! We’ll have a private tour of the house and we have included membership in the RHS in the tour cost, so that we can attend the member’s only day at the show.
