Description
Griffedale is a super barn conversion that is finished to a very high standard. Behind its picture window glass wall, it has a wonderful interior with stone flagged and oak floors, luxurious soft furnishings, beautiful lamps, carefully selected artwork and feature pieces of furniture.
Griffedale is one of a group of cottages – a former farmhouse and its associated buildings – in a remote valley with lots of walks right from the door and the High Peak Trail passing by on the top of the field. Close by is picturesque Brassington village, with its jumbles of cottages and great pubs. Nearby Carsington Water has water sports, cycle trails and birdwatching and historic Wirksworth is a super little town where you can explore its heritage trail and railway, range of local shops, pubs, restaurants and even a small cinema.
This is a glorious part of the Derbyshire Dales, close by the Peak District National Park, where it is very easy to get away from the crowds. You might just fancy Matlock Bath with its cable cars and riverside prom or nearby Cromford Mill in the Derwent Valley World Heritage Corridor. Magnificent Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall are just up the valley or there is always Bess of Hardwick’s amazing hall, Bolsover’s brilliant castle and even Robin Hood’s Sherwood Forest.

Location
BRASSINGTON
Brassington is a very picturesque village with a muddle of cottages tumbling down the hillside nestled in the beautiful Derbyshire Dales. Close to the lovely Georgian market town of Ashbourne, as well as the historic lead mining town of Wirksworth, there are few better places to base your holiday. Best of all, the village has two great pubs. Ye Olde Gate Inn is a 17th century unspoilt village inn that has been named Britain’s cosiest pub. Alternatively, get a very warm welcome in the Miners Arms that does great food and fantastic beer.
If you enjoy the countryside, you might know that the Limestone Way that passes the village will take you out across the Peaks, while the nearby Tissington Trail is just great for walking or cycling. Set virtually on the shores of Carsington Water, Derbyshire’s inland sea, there is also easy access to wild water sports, birdwatching, cycle hire, an adventure playground, visitor centre, café and craft shops.
There is lots to explore in this southern part of the Peak District. Beautiful Dove Dale has its famous stepping stones across the river or there is Manifold Dale with its ‘vanishing’ waters. Tissington with its fine Jacobean Manor, Hartington with its great cheese shop or Crowdecote with its incredible views, are great local villages. You might even get as far as Alton Towers, just over in Staffordshire!
Local pubs – Ye Olde Gate Inn, the Miners Arms and the Knockerdown near Carsinton.
