Local Attractions
Foxglove Cottage is the ideal base for exploring all this area has to offer and visitors often comment on how centrally located it is for reaching the many attractions of Derbyshire and the Peak District. For example Chatsworth is just over 7 miles away - 15 minutes by car. There is excellent walking from the doorstep with horse-riding in the village. The “Crooked Spire” town of Chesterfield and the resort of Matlock Bath are both within a few miles. Chatsworth House and the “White Peak” dales around Bakewell and Dovedale are all an easy drive away.
The peaceful little hamlet of Alton is in beautiful countryside on the fringes of the scenic Peak District National Park. It is the ideal base for exploring all this area has to offer. There is excellent walking from the doorstep with horse-riding in the village.
A short walk of less than half a mile from Foxglove Cottage is the Fabrick Rock. This is 299 metres above sea level and, on clear days, offers spectacular views of Derbyshire and across five other counties: Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire and Staffordshire. Look for the stone steps carved into the hillside next to it and follow the public footpath to Ashover.
If you like horse-riding or would you like to learn please visit Alton Riding School which is a few hundred metres from the cottage.
Alton is too small for a pub or a shop but several can be found in Ashover which is a mile away by road but closer if you go on foot cross-country following one of several footpaths from Foxglove Cottage down the hill. Ashover is frequently described as one of the prettiest villages in Derbyshire and it hosts a famous traditional country show on the 2nd Wednesday in August every year – definitely not to be missed!
There are several excellent pubs which serve food in the vicinity – at least half a dozen of them just over a mile away in the neighbouring villages of Ashover, Milltown and Woolley Moor.

Self Catering Cottage/Home/Apartment Description
Foxglove Cottage is full of character and is furnished and equipped to a high standard whilst retaining many original features. In recognition of this it has received a four star quality grading by VisitBritain.
This charming stone cottage is on a quiet, private lane in a small farming village on the edge of the Peak District National Park. Perched on top of a hill, there are fabulous views over the valley towards Hardwick Hall. There is an open log fire for cosy winter evenings - logs and coal are available at no extra charge. The cottage has its own private garden with barbecue and furniture for those lazy summer days. Parking for two cars.
There is a cosy sitting room and a well-equipped dining kitchen downstairs. Upstairs are two good-sized bedrooms - one double and one twin - and a bathroom with WC, handbasin and electric shower over the bath.
We place a high priority on cleanliness and presentation – before you arrive the cottage will have been thoroughly cleaned and prepared for you. If you need any assistance during your stay there will be someone available to help you nearby. On the other hand if you'd prefer to be left alone to enjoy the peace and tranquillity of our lovely area then you'll also find this an ideal place to spend your holiday.
Foxglove Cottage also has an incoming telephone.
