Stay surrounded by beautiful White Peak countryside at Manor House Farm Cottages, tucked away in a peaceful rural setting at Sheldon. With far-reaching views and countryside all around, this is a particularly good base for discovering the limestone landscapes, historic villages and walking routes around Bakewell and the Derbyshire Dales.

Start close to home with a walk to Magpie Mine, the atmospheric remains of the historic lead mine just outside Sheldon and one of the village's most distinctive landmarks. From here you can explore more of the surrounding White Peak countryside, with Lathkill Dale and Monsal Dale both offering superb walking nearby.

Head down to picturesque Ashford-in-the-Water to see its famous Sheepwash Bridge and wander beside the River Wye, or continue into Bakewell for independent shops, riverside walks and the town's famous puddings. Haddon Hall, Thornbridge Hall and Chatsworth are also within easy reach, giving you plenty of possibilities for filling several days without travelling far from your countryside base.
