Perched above the tranquil Combs Reservoir, the small village of Combs offers stunning views and a peaceful escape from busier Peak District spots. Its position on the hillside provides lovely walking routes, including the gentle path around the water’s edge and the more challenging climb up nearby Eccles Pike. Combs is quiet and unspoiled, with a welcoming pub that has served travellers for generations. The surrounding countryside is perfect for a relaxed afternoon stroll or a longer hike into the Derbyshire hills. Whether you are looking for a scenic picnic spot, a gentle ramble, or simply a quiet corner to catch your breath, Combs delivers with understated charm.
