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 'together' time. People attending events - swimming, music etc. Families - kids love the lambs but especially Bill, our rotund, gentle elderly sheep with his own fan club. Parents visiting their offspring at the uni. Cyclists looking to do part of the 2014 Tour de France route which ran right by here. ... It's an easy, social space for everyone. Walkers of all abilities and ambitions will find fabulous walks right from the front door. We have lots of guide books to help you explore the area; Some ideas to get you going ... 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 walks. If you prefer more challenging 'proper' hikes then Ladybower, Derwent reservoir, Bamford Edge, Win Hill etc lie a short drive away. Derwent reservoir has a visitor centre, refreshments, good parking and walking for every ability from flat well made easy 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 and the route around Derwent and Howden reservoirs makes for a safe and easy ride being closed to traffic at weekends. 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. Cannon Hall Farm (as seen on Channel 5) is one of the biggest and best adventure playgrounds and animal experience venues in England. They have all kinds of animals and petting areas. Everyone has a great day out here and it's a firm favourite with our own family. Pop over to Our Cow Molly in the neighbouring village. This dairy farm makes their own ice cream from their own cows. So much more delicious than shop bought. Guest access Guests have use of the garden, patio area.
