We
have lived here on this lovely upland farm since the 'sixties' at first
renovating the farm house and keeping abreast of the farming activities
then gradually developing farm buildings into holiday accommodation
and managing the land under Countryside Stewardship schemes.
Wild
life is returning with mixed hedgerows and new plantations.

View our extensive gardens which we have opened for the National Garden Scheme for the last 12 years.
Carr
Wood (opposite) is a very special ancient woodland where bluebells,
honeysuckle, violet and wild garlic thrive. Follow the woodland trail
and maybe a fox will run across your path.
Half a mile
down stream from Carr Wood, Overdale brook feeds a lake, stocked with
trout where guests can try their hand at fishing. This lake and wetland
is Townfield where we run Art
in Nature Courses from Townfield Barn
A network of
farm walks link all these areas and there are quiet sheltered corners
in the gardens to sit and relax.
Another activity
we offer is tennis. Our
hard tennis court is in a superb setting, where we once trained
ponies on a fibre ménage!
We Hope you
enjoy this beautiful corner of Derbyshire as we doand feel revived and
relaxed after your stay here !
