Buckley Bed Holiday Cottage is set at the heart of Edale, in the most spectacular and most photographed area of the Derbyshire Peak District.

Edale is one of the best walking areas in England, and is the start of the Pennine Way. Kinder Scout looms over the valley to the north, and has some superb walking routes.

To the south lies Mam Tor, Lord's Seat, Back Tor and Lose Hill - with more excellent walks available - all right from the door!

This is also an excellent area for mountain biking - some of the best in the North of England, with routes for cyclists of all abilities.

This area also offers excellent opportinities for activities such as hang-gliding, rock climbing and caving.

Within easy reach are the famous caverns at nearby Castleton, the Derwent Dams and Ladybower, Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall and historic towns such as Buxton and Bakewell.

Alton Towers and the Heights of Abraham can easily be visited in a day-trip.
