The nearby market town of Bakewell gives you a larger choice of amenities, particularly excellent for those seeking to splurge and go on a shopping spree. For the walkers of the group, you can visit Great Longstone which is located about a mile east of Monsal Head, gateway to one of Derbyshire’s best-loved tourist hot-spots, yet mysteriously manages to still be somewhat off the beaten-track, if you have time, do explore this pretty village as there is much to see in terms of historic buildings, notably the magnificent hall and the sturdy-looking parish church of St Giles, which dates back to the 13th century. There are a whole host of attractions within driving distance such as the 16th century Chatsworth House and the medieval manor house at Haddon Hall, perfect for those keen history lovers among you. Holmefield is the perfect property for remote holidays.
