Home » Attractions An excellent base for exploring the Peak District…
You may or may not be aware, but the peak district truly is the jewel in the crown of England. With its unspoilt beauty of the peaks and dales, the quintessentially British stately homes like Chatsworth House and Hardwick Hall; the fabulously restored castles like Bolsover Castle and the crammed events calendar throughout the year, The Peak District really is very well kept secret.
You will have plenty to do during your stay in Chesterfield and probably won’t have enough time to see everything, including the famous Crooked Spire Church , Barrow Hill Roundhouse, Revolution House and our own Museum and Art Gallery . There are wonderful memories in the making here, so plan your itinerary well.
