Places to visit from Holiday Cottages in the Peak District
With so much to see, do and explore across the region, you won’t have any issues planning your day trips and adventures from your Peak District accommodation.
One place we’d highly recommend visiting for a day away from your Peak District cottages is the town of Buxton, the largest in the region. Found in the High Peak district, this idyllic market town is the highest in the country, offering impeccable views of the surrounding countryside. Here, you’ll find loads of brilliant places to eat, drink and shop, as well as a host of unique landmarks like Solomon’s Temple and Poole’s Cavern.
On the other hand, taking a trip to the village of Eyam is a must-do for history enthusiasts. Famously known as the “Plague Village” due to its isolation during the outbreak in the 1600s. Here, we’d highly recommend checking out the Eyam Plague Village Museum, as well as the Eyam Boundary Stone that was used for trading with the neighbouring village of Stoney Middleton.
