Nestling amidst some of England’s best walking country, Hartington is a picturesque medieval village, 12 miles southeast of Buxton and 11 miles southwest of Bakewell. Famous for its cheese shop, 12th-century church, mining and angling, the village is within 3 miles of the Tissington and High Peak Trails, offering 30 miles of hiking, cycling and horse riding through sublime limestone gorges. Set on a working farm, 1. 5 miles south of the village, the cottage is right on the Tissington Trail as it plunges through Dovedale, through four amazing dales to Ilam (6.5-mile walk).

The first-floor king-size bedroom is a tranquil haven with a wonderful vista. Outside, there’s a paved seating area with sublime views of the Derbyshire countryside. Thornbridge Hall Gardens (12 miles) and the superlative Tudor estates of Haddon Hall (12 miles) and Chatsworth House (17 miles) are amongst England’s best.
