The Peak District

In 1951, the Peak District was the first designated National Park in Great Britain. Yew Tree Cottage, providing luxury bed and breakfast accommodation, in the area, is an ideal retreat for a short stay or a longer visit.

The Peak District covers some 500 square miles of the Southern Pennines and houses the start of The Pennine Way, in Edale but its prime function was to preserve the natural and outstanding beauty of the landscape and to help people enjoy its facilities. Try our Award Winning B&B at Yew Tree Cottage at the S E edge the of the Peak District to sample its delights. By 1988 the Peak District was recciving around 16 million visitors a year but 20 years later that figure has nearly doubled.

The sites of the disused railway tracks provide the routes for the Peak District’s Tissington & High Peak Trails; some 25 miles to cycle, horse ride or walk. Middleton Top Engine House, in the Peak District and only minutes away from Yew Tree Cottage luxury Guest Accommodation, is at the start of the Peak District’s High Peak Trail. The Peak District boasts nearly 2000 miles of footpaths – savour and enjoy the rugged scenery of Peak District or the beauty of the Derbyshire Dales while staying at our Peak District guest house.
