halevan Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 Renishaw hall and gardens, these are some of the finest gardens I have seen, one can spend all day on the lawns, walkways over the lakes, among the flower beds, trees, through the woods, it is a paradise for photographers, still and camcorders. Not been in the house yet, only open at certain times they say it is worth a visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidla Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 The Dales are beautiful. I worked out you could catch a train at about 9 one Saturday, go to Ribblehead Station and spend a day walking and catch a train home at about 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mishapp Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 There are some lovely walks and pubs in the Hope Valley. Our two current favourite pubs are The Barrel (nr Bretton) and the Travellers Rest (Brough - halfway between Hathersage and Castleton). Both pubs welcome dogs, which is important for us! Does anyone else have suggestions of good pubs which welcome dogs, in and around Sheffield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fronbow Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 Growing up, we used to go to Brid or Scarborough for summer holidays. Went to Whitby with school one year, which was fun, and the history was good! Castleton's good for the caverns, and the Peaks are good for the well-needed fresh air...tho' we usually end up in Castleton or Bakewell! Oh, and Haworth and Holmfirth are within easy reach. There's a bus that goes to one that you can use a travel master to get to, can't remember which one it is tho ;( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonHarrison Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 A gentle ride along the Tissington trail is always a nice very level ride during summer. You can hire bikes from Ashbourne and then get onto the trail. Nice for kids too as its away from the traffic once your on it. Also, Clumber Park. Nice walks, cycle hire with trailers for young kids. Nice large area to walk, relax etc. Gets very busy at weekends in high summer though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchresearch Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 The Chesterfield canal is really nice, now that its been done up. Park up at the car park at Kiveton Park Station and then head East towards Worksop. Take a loaf of bread for the ducks and swans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
