DISCOVER THE DUAL CHARACTER OF THE PEAK DISTRICT

The Peak District’s contrasting landscapes feature the rugged gritstone of the Dark Peak and the friendlier limestone of the White Peak. Rolling hills, wooded dales, and chequerboard stone walls provide a visual feast for nature enthusiasts.

 

Local traditions enrich the area, including working water mills, farm museums, tram and mining museums, cable cars, and summer well-dressing ceremonies. Stately homes such as Chatsworth, Haddon Hall, and Hardwick Hall are within easy reach.

CULTURE, HERITAGE, AND SEASONAL CHARM NEAR THE HOTEL

The Lathkil Hotel is perfectly placed for exploring local culture and heritage. Just a mile and a half from Bakewell, guests can enjoy shopping, Lathkil Fell Race, and taste the famous Bakewell Pudding. Winter transforms the landscape into a magical snow-dusted dreamscape.

 

With stunning scenery, nearby historic attractions, and a village steeped in charm, the hotel provides a serene retreat while offering convenient access to memorable experiences for all ages.

A serene forest path blanketed with fallen leaves

The district is full of fascination. Some of England's greatest stately homes are here, within twenty minutes or so of the hotel - ChatsworthHaddon Hall, Hardwick Hall.

Stone bridge with five arches spans across a calm river

A mile and a half away is the small market town of Bakewell, a good shopping centre and the home of the delicious Bakewell Pudding, which incidentally has little in common with the Bakewell Tart, its commercial cousin.

Snow-covered rolling hills with a lone tree

In winter, sudden heavy snowfalls (which fortunately disappear equally quickly as a rule) can turn it into something of a dreamscape.

LOCAL TRADITIONS

There are working water mills, farm museums, tram museums, mining museums, cable cars at Matlock Bath and, in summer, the ancient well-dressing ceremonies - the intricate designs which adorn the wells are made from thousands of individual flower petals.
