A stunning walk and one of our ‘many’ favourites in the Peak District 😅💖

A beautiful walk in Lathkill Dale from Monyash, a mix of highs and lows on this walk as you hike along the top of this Derbyshire Dale before following the river through the valley.

Today we had the absolute pleasure of welcoming an incredible group of ladies to The Homestead Holiday Cottage in the Peak District.

They are taking part in an inspiring journey for the charity Adventure Before Dementia, Adventure B4 Dementia 2026 ( give them a follow to find out more) travelling all the way from John O’Groats on horseback. After an amazing 55 days on the road, they arrived with us today for a well-earned night of rest and recovery before continuing their adventure.

What an honour it is to host such dedicated and determined humans and horse’s raising awareness and support for such an important cause.

We wish them a restful stay and the very best of luck as they continue their remarkable journey. Safe travels and happy trails! 🐴💚

There’s something quietly magical about a gentle walk through Beresford Dale in the Peak District 🌿

The limestone valley winds peacefully alongside the River Dove, with soft birdsong, dappled sunlight through the trees, and those calming, unhurried moments that make you forget the noise of everyday life. It’s the kind of place where you don’t need a plan—just comfortable shoes and a willingness to slow down.

One of the simple joys of this route is the chance to wander on into Hartington, a picture-perfect village that feels like it’s been paused in time. And if you’re anything like me, no walk is complete without a little treat at the end…

Enter the delicious Fat Buns 😍 Fresh, indulgent, whether you go for something sweet or savoury, it’s the perfect reward after a tranquil ramble.

If you’re planning your own visit, definitely check them out along with many other little gems in this beautiful village.

And if you fancy turning your walk into a relaxing getaway, we still have some availability at our cosy holiday cottage 🏡 The perfect base to explore Beresford Dale, Hartington, and everything the Peak District has to offer.

Peaceful trails, stunning scenery, and great food!
