Itinerary

Cormford Mill by Amanda Slater - FlickrDay 1 Morning departure for the journey north and to the hotel in Derbyshire for a four night stay.

Days 2 to 4 We have included the following excursions:

• Head for the market town of Bakewell, idyllically situated on the banks of the river Wye, the biggest town in the Peak District National Park, with mellow stone buildings, medieval five-arched stone bridge and quaint courtyards. Make sure you have a coffee and one of the famous Bakewell puddings. In the afternoon you will visit Crich Tramway Village, a period village museum where you enjoy travelling along the traditional village street in a vintage tram and marvelling at the spectacular views.

• Enjoy a scenic drive into the stunning Peak District first by way of Ladybower Reservoir taking in some breath-taking views and onto Castleton, one of the most beautifully situated villages nestled at the western end of Hope Valley on Peakshole Water. Free time to explore and have lunch before continuing to Buxton, home of Buxton Water. This special thermal spa town has stunning ornamental gardens and world-famous Georgian and Victorian architecture.

• Spend the morning at the Peak Wildlife Park, Leek where you will come face to face with the most iconic of species. Time to obtain lunch before travelling to Sir Richards Arkwright’s Cromford Mills for a mill and village tour to hear the story of how in the 18th century the valley changed the world with the first successful water powered cotton spinning mill.

Day 5 After breakfast, depart the hotel and commence the homeward journey.
