You may be lucky enough to be visited by some British wildlife - hares, deer and bats. We currently have a pair of cheeky herons nesting who you may spot early in the morning in the pond by your patio attempting to catch some of our fish. Some of our small flock of hens will likely pay you a visit - a few were hand reared and they like people. Who comes to stay here? We get a mix of visitors e.g. small groups come to spend a weekend catching up - ex uni friends and doctors who did their training up here. Couples in need of quality time. People attending events. Families - kids love the lambs and Bill, our gentle elder (and very fat) male sheep with his own fan club. Parents visiting their offspring at the uni.

Short easy walks take you into the picturesque village of Low Bradfield where you can stop for coffee and cake or something more robust at the Plough. Kids might paddle in the stream and feed the ducks. In summer there may be a cricket match. Or go through the woods up to the beautiful St Nicholas Church at High Bradfield and stop for a coffee or beer at the Old Horns pub. The views from this elevation are particularly excellent. Dale Dyke, Damflask and Agden reservoirs are easily accessible from the property. No car needed for any of these, and many other, walks. If you prefer more challenging 'proper' hikes then Ladybower, Bamford Edge, Win Hill etc lie only 15 minutes drive away. Derwent reservoir has a visitor center, refreshments, good parking and walking for every ability from flat well made cinder paths to hillier routes with truly stunning 360 views. This is where where the WW2 bouncing bomb was tested. The visitor centre has bikes for hire. The route around Derwent and Howden reservoirs makes for a safe and easy ride being largely closed to vehicles. Bakewell, Edale, Castleton, Buxton the Hope Valley and attractions such as Chatsworth House and the Blue John caverns are within short, scenic driving distances. 'Blue John' is a mineral only found locally in Castleton. Several mines are open to the public, our favourite is Speedwell Cavern where you tour the mines by underground boat - quite an experience.
