Elbik:“Absolutely fantastic. Would recommend the buggy ride around the garden. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. The house and all the staff made you feel very welcome and relaxed.The markets are really good and have a very nice vibe and the house itself is decorated very well with a different theme every year. This year it's Henry and the Lion! The gardens are also lit up at night so definitely go for a walk after leaving the house if you have time. You will need to book tickets early ..”

陌染MM:“I came to the UK for a tour and followed a local tour group to the Peak District National Park. However, it happened to rain that day and it was very windy outside. I could only take a few photos and then return to the car. The Peak District National Park in the UK is the first and largest national park in the UK, located in central England. The Peak District is located in the south of the Pennines, and most of the area is hills with an altitude of about 300 meters. The Peak District is mainly composed of sedimentary rocks formed in the Carboniferous period, including limestone, sandstone and coal rock.”

coo***an:“This was actually a very interesting place with friendly and informative staff and lovely gardens to walk through. But we actually paid for a drive through the park which cost about £10. It was very frustrating to have to deal with this before we even started. We knew the fee meant we could access 600 acres of grounds but all we wanted to do was visit the house and gardens.”

悠游天下99168:“The Peak District National Park is not worthy of its name. There are no towering peaks here, only open swamps, beautiful river valleys and gentle hills, and the highest point is only 636 meters above sea level. A large number of limestone faults have created a unique landscape for the Peak District, making it the best choice for tourists to hike, caving and rock climbing. Therefore, it is known as the paradise of outdoor sports in the UK.”

B&B Hotel Derby
4.2/5112 Reviews
Anonymous User:“Great for solo travellers, and even had a gym. The location was not that great as it was on the other side of town (and the worst part is that the connecting bridge was the train station itself -＞ meaning I had to ask train staff to let me through everytime i wanted to go to the main town area, though maybe its the city design that failed). Anyways, very clean room and bathroom. Probably really good if travelling by car!”

TheForkUser:“A group of us went for the 'Rock & Roll' night. The entertainer was excellent if a bit to loud. The food was pretty good. the prawn cocktail sauce was rather watery but the prawns were fine. The serving of pate was very generous but the bread was like concrete. I think it had started life as a sourdough baguette, been re-warmed then allowed to go cold.We were very pleased with the main course being served with separate dishes of potatoes and vegetables so you could choose what you wanted and how much.Our table all had the salmon which was lovely. The sweets were all good as well.A grand night was had by all.”

Original Bakewell Pudding Shop
2 Reviews
Open 08:30-18:00
佳翊丹:“Second visit to Manchester: The first time I went to Manchester, I mainly visited "Chatsworth House". I also went to the nearby Bakewell Derbyshire "Bakewell Baking Town" and really liked it. Bakewell is an ancient town built in the Anglo-Saxon period in the Peak District National Park. It still has a church built in 920 and a stone bridge built in the Middle Ages. The River Wye flows through the center of the town, and flocks of green ducks fly and play freely on the river bank. There are many pastry shops in the town, among which The Old Original Bakewell has a history of more than 160 years and still maintains handmade products. Unfortunately, it was closed when we went there. The other one next to it is a husband-and-wife shop with a rich variety of pastries. I took the snacks I bought and trotted all the way to the river to feed the ducks and take pictures with them. The driver said that residents living in the Peak District would meet in the town for afternoon tea and chat on weekends, and then go to the river to feed these cute ducks with bread, or sit on the benches by the river to bask in the sun. A comfortable life is so simple. You still have to experience the Christmas market. A 5-minute walk from the hotel is the Manchester Central Library, located in St. Peter's Square. Built between 1930 and 1934, the Manchester Central Library is a classical architectural style with a slight resemblance to the Pantheon in Rome. In front of the library stands a Santa Claus lighting statue as tall as the gate, which adds to the festive atmosphere. Another ten minutes' walk will take you to Albert Square, built in 1877, an important landmark in the city center. Many activities in the city are held here, including the annual Christmas market at Albert Square. I still remember a 5-pound cup of mulled wine handed to me, and a mug with Manchester letters and Christmas patterns was given with the wine. At the time, I thought it was an extra charge. It is indeed the "capital of the north", so grand! I have been to Christmas markets in several other cities to buy mulled wine to keep out the cold, and the price is 5 pounds, but they are all disposable paper cups. This is my second visit to Manchester. My first stop is the John Rylands Library. The John Rylands Library is a late Victorian Gothic building. It was incorporated into the Manchester University Library in 1972 for academic research and was listed as a Grade I protected building in the UK in 1994 (it was built in 1899 by philanthropist Enriqueta Rylands in commemoration of her deceased husband John Rylands. It took 10 years to build it. The opening day on January 1, 1900 was also their wedding anniversary). The collection of John Rylands Library includes exquisite medieval manuscripts, the earliest modern printing forms, and so on. It is not only an exclusive benefit for Manchester University students, but also the best choice for beautiful girls to take photos. Then take a tram to Salford and check in at Old Trafford, the "Theatre of Dreams" of Manchester United (it is the second largest football stadium in 🇬🇧, opened in 1910). Although Old Trafford is on holiday during the season and you can't enjoy the carnival of speed and passion on site, you can still feel the enthusiasm and excitement standing here. Before arriving at the stadium, you will pass by BBC Manchester (commonly known as BBC Salford), which is the regional headquarters of the BBC in the northwest of England and the largest region of the BBC in 🇬🇧. In the early 21st century, in order to boost the struggling Manchester media industry, reduce operating costs compared to London, and better represent northern England, the BBC moved to MediaCityUK at Salford Quays, not far from the city center. The last stop of "Castlefield": Castlefield City Heritage Park. As a testimony to the original form of the industrial city, Castlefield is one of the most special landscapes in the city. In 1982, it became the first designated urban heritage park. The rusty Victorian steel viaduct and the dilapidated and messy factory ruins can still reflect the prosperity and hustle and bustle of the old industrial era. #英旅行 #曼彻斯特旅行 #母女儿旅行”

Edensor Tea Cottage
2 Reviews
Open 09:30-16:30
和我看世界:“Lin Yutang said: "The ideal life of world peace is probably living in the countryside of England." The countryside is the soul of England. They are like a fairy tale world lost in the world. Slow life is about living in the countryside of England.
Edensor is the most poetic village in the world. It has simple houses, natural scenery, mountains and rivers. You can enjoy a leisurely afternoon tea time and live a longed pastoral life.
Where is it?
EDENSOR, DERBYSHIRE, DE45 1PH
How to get there?
It takes about an hour to drive from Manchester to Edensor.
You can take bus No. 218 from Sheffield to the town.
What to do?
St Peter's Church
St Peter's Church is a good example of a Victorian Gothic church. It is located in an idyllic manor village not far from Chatsworth Manor.
Many fine monuments to the Cavendish family can be found within the building. The building is a charming, slightly eccentric mixture of different styles from Tudor to Norman, with Swiss-style cottages and Italian-style villas.
Edensor Tea Cottage
New wood paneling, Farrow & Ball color palette and streamlined service area, with a separate coffee kitchen, rustic wooden tables and chairs with comfortable cushions and cushioned benches, while limited edition canvases, classic books and family photos are the finishing touches.
Open every day of the year, the tea room has a large menu, offering a variety of breakfast dishes as well as lunch and specials, all freshly made
Tips
The European classical buildings in the town of Edensor are very worth taking photos and punching in. The whole town retains the medieval style. If you go around the town, you will find that you can't find two identical houses. Each is different.
It is very close to Darcy Manor, so you can visit it together and punch in the location of the movie "Pride and Prejudice".”
The Castle
4.5/56 Reviews
Open 8:00-22:00
TheForkUser:“Lovely old building in the heart of Castleton. Excellent, friendly service. We arrived early and they had no issues with seating us straight away. Food (1 burger, 1 fishcakes) was really good and decent value for money.”

🎀It is definitely a shop that you will be attracted to after eating it once~

The storefront is very hidden, in the courtyard of a residential area🏘, and it is a shop that is not easy to find even after walking around~
But it is a different world🛋 when you walk in, the space is super large~
-
•The base of the pot has [clear soup seafood🦐pot] and [Double Duck Pot]. Personally, I recommend that you order [clear soup seafood🦐pot] for copper pot hot pot, so that you can taste the deliciousness of the meat in its original flavor~
•My favorite💞 is Zuo Ji's dipping sauce, [sesame sauce] with [leek flowers], pure old taste~
•Beef and mutton blind Don't order a bad deal💣, [Fresh-cut lamb leg] is worth recommending~
•The group purchase package online is very cost-effective, 2-3 meals at less than 60% off, three people🚶👯 went and didn't eat~
