Located in the small unspoilt conservation village of Elton near Bakewell and in the Derbyshire National Park it is an ideal centre for walks from the doorstep and visiting many of the attractions of the Peak District, Derbyshire Dales and beyond.

Elton is a small quiet and secluded farming village, and is an ideal base for visiting all the many attractions of the Peak District, Derbyshire Dales and beyond. Whether you come for walking, cycling, touring or just relaxing in the cottage and garden you won't be disappointed.

Popular walks from the cottage include Robin Hood's Stride, Bradford Dale, Lathkill Dale. Cycling and walking are very popular but there are also many attractions to visit from the peaceful settings of Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall (nearby) to Alton Towers (20 miles away). There is much to enjoy in the varied and beautiful scenery of this lovely part of England.

Elton had three Public Houses in its heyday, but now has only one, the Duke of York, known locally as "The Duke" which retains its original 1950s decor. The pub is welcoming, has a roaring fire and the cost of the drinks (no food is served) is regrettably not what you would have paid in 1950, but very reasonable. The opening hours are, however, only from 8.45 pm every evening and lunchtime on Sundays.

The nearest pubs with food are about a one mile stroll to Winster where there are The Miner's Standard and The Old Bowling Green. There are very many excellent pubs, restaurants, tea rooms and cafes wherever you go with recommendations for many at the cottage. The Devonshire Arms at Pilsley on the Chatsworth Estate do a good carvery; and if you visit Buxton the award winning No. 6 The Square opposite the Opera House is a must!

The village also has a cafe open at weekends which is full of nostalgia and provides the hungry with brunches, rolls, soup and cakes. It is very popular with cyclists and walkers. There is also a Church, Chapel, School, Post Office and Recreation Ground. The nearest General Store/Newsagent is one mile away in the neighbouring village of Winster but more shops are available in Bakewell and Matlock

Elton is very centrally located near Bakewell in the heart of wonderful Derbyshire countryside with stately homes, working mills, theme parks and much more.

Walks are abundant, and Elton has a number of public footpaths out of the village and into the surrounding countryside. You can walk to Robin Hood's Stride, Youlgreave, Bradford Dale and for longer walk to Lathkill Dale. The Limestone Way runs right beside the village. The Druids cave at Birchover, the stone circles at Arbor Low and Stanton Moor are all nearby and interesting. The scenery is fabulous, and if you have time to fit them in, there are a lot of other activities including Bird Watching, Cycling, Golf, Fishing, Horse Riding, and Rock Climbing
