Nice getaway, ideal if you are active
We decided to take a punt and visit this site as we usually head to Hope Valley area, so glad we did
The staff here were excellent and their advise on the local are was spot on, we ate at the Spanker Inn on our last night,which was excellent,
We walked to Belper on the Wardens route but came back via the Derwent Valley Way to Ambleford then back to the site on a loop walk, excellent day out. Next day we cycled to Ridgeway then picked up the Cromford Canal and rode to Cromford Mill along the tow path, then cycled back ( caveat being that for the hill back up you need to be a regular cyclist or have an e-bike...but I'm 62 and managed it fine on my gravel bike)
Views over the Derwent Valley are fantastic and the shops in Belper are decent too...... we cycled down and back to shop easily.
We'll be back but maybe not until 2023 due to other planned trips for 2022
