Freedom Break at Dovedale

View larger map

Freedom Breaks offer a flexible way to enjoy some of Britain's most scenic areas.

Situated at the very heart of England, the Peak District National Park provides visitors with two wonderfully different landscapes to enjoy. There are great cycle routes and beautiful towns and villages to visit only a short distance from the Newton House.

Highlights of your stay could include:

• Walking in the beautiful limestone scenery of the Derbyshire Dales - beautiful Dove Dale is just a couple of miles from Newton House
• Cycling on the Tissington Trail, immediately adjacent to Newton House - miles of traffic-free cycling along a scenic disused railway
• Chatsworth House, home of the Duke of Devonshire, with one of Europe’s finest private art collections and 105 acres of formal gardens - cascades, fountains, sculptures and a maze
• The Heights of Abraham, a spectacular cable car ride high up across the Derwent Valley
• Alton Towers Theme Park and Resort - need we say more - the biggest theme park in the UK
• Carsington Water near Ashbourne - fly fishing, mountain biking hire, water sports and a wildlife centre
