Ploughman's Cottage is 6 miles West of Junction 30 M1. The cottage is carefully maintained, very comfortable and well planned. There are small shops within half a mile. We have llamas and sheep and our hens will provide your eggs. We offer a grazing paddock for a horse or pony. There are pleasant rides across the fields to the woodlands of the Moss Valley. Renishaw Hall home of the Sitwell's is less than two miles from the cottage and we would recommend a visit to see the marvellous gardens and museum. To the East are Bolsover Castle and Hardwick Hall. Into Nottinghamshire a visit to Clumber Park is a must. Children will enjoy visiting the Creswell Crags and learning about the Ice Age, seeing the Major Oak at Edwinstowe and perhaps you might like to take them to the dungeons in Nottingham! We have Chesterfield with the Crooked Spire and Market Stalls. Sheffield's Cathedral, Shops and Botanical Garden's and Rotherham's Magna Centre which is a must for teenagers who will be amazed at the activities on offer. Within half an hour you can be in the Peak District at Bakewell or Chatsworth House. Matlock Bath is always worth a visit with lots of interesting small shops and the Cable Car ride up to the Heights of Abraham. There is a Mining Museum with lots of activities for children and a visit to one of the Lead Mines usually ends with the children panning for gold. However there are also plenty of quiet places for walking, picnics and enjoying the wonderful scenery.
