Holiday Homes and Cottages Derbyshire
Where you could find yourself close to one of the most-visited National Parks in the world and the rugged landscapes that form the 'backbone' of England, bed and breakfasts and self catering holiday cottages in Derbyshire make an excellent base for a walking vacation through the Peak District or along the extensive mountain ridge of the Pennines. As this is an opportunity that has proved popular with visitors from all over the globe whose love of the great outdoors has prompted them to seek new destinations in which to pursue their favourite recreational activity, holiday homes in Derbyshire have become highly sought-after over the years, particularly in the northern half of the county where both these areas of outstanding natural beauty can be reached easily and quickly.
Rent a holiday cottage in Bakewell and you'll be at the heart of a historic market town - the largest one to be found nestling amongst the hills and dales of the Peak District. With many other bustling towns and sleepy villages scattered across this picturesque swathe of countryside, cottage rentals in Derbyshire are an obvious choice for anyone looking for plenty of traditional rustic character and the sense of space and peace that is guaranteed when you swop a hectic urban environment for a small slice of rural England. Going early to bed and eating hearty breakfasts each day you spend in Derbyshire will go a long way to helping you explore as many of these scenic landscapes as you can in one holiday (supplemented by a few cream teas!), but coming home to all the luxury and privacy you could wish for will provide the perfect environment in which to relax after walking many miles across the kind of countryside that begins on your doorstep and stretches beyond the county boundary!
While places like Ashbourne, Buxton and Matlock will put you within a stone's throw of the Peak District National Park and ensure the tranquil atmosphere and gentle pace of life you'd expect in such a rural part of England, holiday homes in Derby and Chesterfield will give you the chance to investigate a contrasting aspect of Derbyshire's diverse personality in the county's two largest urban enclaves. Bursting with history and culture, there are enough fabulous shopping, dining and entertainment facilities to satisfy the most ardent passion for city life within a convenient distance of any holiday home in Derbyshire, and even if you don't really want to base your vacation in a town-centre situation, you'll never be too far away to add a little urban excitement to your quieter experiences of this fascinating county! So with this much variety and versatility on offer wherever your holiday cottage in Derbyshire may be, you'll soon discover why so many families choose to return to this unique region of central England every year.
