Barks is a gem of a holiday cottage. It is in a tiny, out-of-the-way hamlet, down a private track that turns into a footpath leading into a beautiful hidden valley. It is a walkers paradise.
Considering its rural location, this holiday cottage is easy to reach. It is just 9 miles outside Ashbourne. So when holiday guests want to swap the sound of birdsong for a little market town hustle and bustle then it is but a quick nip into Ashbourne or Leek. It is only a little further into the Potteries (always called that locally, aka Stoke-on-Trent), which is handy to fill the boot with quality chinaware at great prices, and an interesting insight into the area's industrial past or a change of pace after a thrilling day at Alton Towers.
Holiday cottage guests normally want to the walk the hills and will be interested to note that Barks is at the southern end of the Peak District national park with all its walking, cycling and tea room attractions.
A popular attraction near this holiday cottage (just 3 miles) is Alton Towers with its well known theme park, plus the Cariba Creek water park, and a delightful spa area for a touch of grown up pampering.
