One well-behaved dog is welcome by prior arrangement. Get in touch to discuss the best way to accommodate your four-legged friend.

The Tissington Trail, a multi-user, level, off-road route along a former railway starts just opposite the centre and links to many miles of off-road routes including the High Peak Trail and the Pennine Bridleway. Carsington Water with it's fishing, watersports, visitor centre, huge play area, cycle hire and off road cycle/walking trail is just a few miles down the road. While for climbers the Roaches, a famous gritstone escarpment, is also close by. For the young at heart Alton Towers is just a few miles away. All groups have sole use of the centre.
