Excellent Location

Peak Village is located on the edge of the Chatsworth Estate, in the picturesque village of Rowsley. Just two miles from Haddon Hall, a beautiful medieval manor house, four miles from the delightful market town of Bakewell, and only five miles from pretty town of Matlock, there is so much to enjoy whilst you are in the area. As Peak Village is dog friendly, it’s a great place to call into after a morning’s walk in one of the many surrounding pretty villages, such as Stanton in Peak, Youlgreave or Beeley, to name just a few.

There is free car parking on site, however, for those travelling by public transport, there are bus routes and train routes available to view here.
