Peak District Activities

Welyarde is a great choice for a Peak District holiday.  Located in the heart of the Peak District National Park, the cottage is only a short drive to Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall, and the market towns of Bakewell, Buxton and Ashbourne.  There are a host of Peak District activities to enjoy whilst staying at Welyarde – some of which you can read about below.

Many places allow dogs to visit with you.  But if you want a day out to somewhere which doesn’t welcome dogs, we have a very reliable dog sitter in the village:  contact Fiona/Juliet at Frederick-Lloyd who will be happy to help.
