Neighbourhood information

There is lots to do in the surrounding areas, for example a historical market town, Ashbounre only a 2 minutes drive away, hosting the annual Royal Shrovetide Football on Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday. There are many picturesque walks located around us such as Dovedaleand Osmaston Park and Mill and many more due to us being located just outside of the Peak District Natonal Park. For the thrill seekers, Alton Towers is just a 20 minutes drive. Ideal!
