Local Attractions
Little Longstone is in the centre of the Peak District National Park, just five minutes on foot from Monsal Head with the famous viewpoint and viaduct. The Monsal Trail is a mecca for cyclists and Hassop Station (cycle hire, cafe, gifts) is less than ten minutes away by car. Beautiful Monsal Dale is within easy walking distance and its weir is one of those 'must-see' places when visiting the UK's oldest national park, especially in full spate.
Above Little Longstone is Longstone Edge with miles of paths and hiking literally from our doorstep. A path at the side of the local pub The Packhorse leads you across the fields and up into the hills.
Ten minutes away by car is the capital town of the Peak District, Bakewell with its five-arched bridge over the river Wye, shops, tea-rooms, restaurants, pubs, banks and supermarkets. World-famous Chatsworth House and medieval Haddon Hall are both within ten minutes by car.
Further afield but still easily accessible is the Great Ridge including Mam Tor, Lose Hill and, below, the village of Castleton famed for its Blue John mines and Christmas lights. The highest point in the Peak District is Kinder plateau where, in winter months, the 'downfall' (waterfall) can often be seen completely frozen.
The local bus service can regularly transport guests towards Bakewell or Castleton throughout the day from Monday to Saturday with Sunday services throughout the Summer
