It is interesting to observe how each of us manages to structure the time available to us from the time we are born to the day we die. It might not be a big problem during infancy when practically everything is new and fascinating. Nor during the less fortunate period of our senility when we are scarcely aware of what is going on.
In between these two stages, structuring our time is indeed a tough task for most of us. It is in this context that beautiful experiences of holidays close to nature or wandering around historical monuments become invaluable. And few experiences can match a holiday in the Peak District National Park, the second most visited national park in the world.
Peak District offers a surprising variety of experiences. You can soothe away the tensions and anxieties accumulated during your stressful work lives quietly walking along the trails amidst great scenery’s. Or you can experience the thrill of watching the blaze of purple heather flowers on the moorlands of the Dark Peak.
You can also experience country life as it was. Vast stretches of farmland bordered by grey limestone walls and cows and sheep grazing on the grass land bring back images of a past when life was far less stressful. You can even stay in one of the barns of that age and visit the carefully preserved museums that show how tough life was in those days.
Nature and country are not the only attractions that Peak District has to offer.
There are historical Houses, Halls and castles built in the Middle Ages that give a glimpse into the way our lords and ladies lived. Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall and other Houses, Halls & castles abound in the park.
Houses, Halls & Castles are not the only historical structures in the area. Water-driven mills, steam engines and other museum structures portray the start of industrialisation in England. And abandoned railway tracks can arouse strange feelings. A traffic-free cycling track now runs along one such railway track.
You can enjoy all these and other experiences during a vacation at the Paddock House Farm Holiday Cottages. Paddock House Farm has Six cottages with varying accommodation from two to ten people spread over 35 acres of greenery. The spacious grounds offer picnic facilities such as barbecue and park benches, as well as gardens and tree-lined walkways.
Each of these ashbourne self-catering cottages comes with fully equipped kitchen’s and dining facilities as well as bedrooms and sitting rooms. Some have coal-fired open fireplaces while others offer great church style windows opening to the beautiful Manifold valley.
A private couple can book the two-person Cherry Holiday Cottage with a private getaway and a group of 40 can book all the six cottages for a comfortable stay, including facilities for elderly and movement-handicapped persons. And dogs are welcomed.
