- Q: Is the cottage suitable for someone with restricted mobility?
- A: We have an Accessibility Statement which can be viewed by clicking here for the word version, or
clicking here for the pdf
version.
- Q: How far away is the Manifold Trail?
- A:
It starts at Hulme End, a quarter of a mile from us. It is
ideal for walking or cycling because it follows the old railway line to
Waterhouses and is therefore level. The surface is tarmac.
It was listed by the Daily Telegraph as the number one cycle
trail in the September 27th 2008 issue. Just go to
www.telegraph.co.uk and type in Manifold Valley. The Tissington
Trail, a gravelled redundant railway line, can be accessed just the
other side of Hartington, about 3 miles away. It was listed by
the Telegraph as the fourth best cycle trail.
- Q: Where can we hire bicycles?
- A:
Bikes can be hired at Ashbourne, Parsley Hay and Waterhouses.
There is also a firm which hires out for longer periods than a
day, and will even deliver for no extra charge. We have the
contact numbers.
- Q: Where is a good place to eat?
- A:
The George at Alstonefield is highly recommended this year, as is
the Manifold Inn at Hulme End, and the Devonshire at Hartington.
The Cheshire Cheese at Longnor and the Staffordshire Knot at
Sheen have also been recommended.
- Q: Where do you recommend for horse riding?
- A: Northfield Farm at Flash. Good trekking along old packhorse trails.
- Q: Is there any fishing available locally?
- A:
Yes, wild trout and grayling. Tickets can be purchased
locally but more information can be obtained from
www.peakpassport.co.uk.
