Derbyshire is located right at the heart of England. It's an area of stunning and diverse scenery and is part of the Peak District, which is well-known for its beauty. It is a paradise for walking and family cycling holidays, mountain biking and adventure sports such as caving, rock climbing, hang gliding and paragliding.

For those of you who are interested in walking during your Derbyshire farm holidays, there are good walking trails at Monsal (Bakewell Station), Ashborne, and Mam Tor. If you are looking for something more challenging, Derbyshire's famous Pennine Way is a long- distance trail that begins its journey from Edale and goes north, towards Scotland.

Bakewell, is home to the famous Bakewell Pudding and also several historic houses, including the extraordinary Chatsworth House, home of the Dukes of Devonshire and known locally as the "Palace of the Peak". Although Chatsworth is one of England's great stately homes, it must share the attention of visitors to the county with two other mansions, one at Haddon and the other at Hardwick.

Derbyshire's Peak District is also home to many farmers’ markets, which sell a huge range of high quality, local produce bought directly from their farms. You can't get fresher food than that! Besides Bakewell Pudding try some Ashbourne Gingerbread and Buxton Mineral Water - both will give you a real flavor of the Peak District during your Derbyshire farm holidays!
