Home to Britain's first national park and the World Heritage Site, Derwent Valley Mills, this county has some of the best dog walks around. Our gorgeous collection of dog-friendly accommodation in Derbyshire is the perfect way to explore the rugged natural beauty and historic architecture. It includes everything from large lodges in the woods to cute cottages in market towns.
Dog-Friendly Holidays in Derbyshire
With rugged fells, misty peaks, and endless rolling moorland, Derbyshire is full of stunning landscapes. On one half of the county, you can find the Peak District National Park which offers trails, cosy pubs, and amazing mountain top views. Further south are the impressive Derbyshire Dales which border Yorkshire.
If you're looking for a mountain to climb, you're certainly in the right place. Mam Tor can be conquered fairly easily and makes a great first taste of proper hiking. Those looking for more of a challenge can take their pups up Jacob's Ladder to the breathtaking summit of Kinder Scout in Glossop.
As well as picturesque settings for walkies you'll find rich history and gorgeous stately homes. The exquisite Chatsworth House near Bakewell is the most famous, but we also recommend a visit to Elvaston Castle which has 320 acres of wonderfully kept parklands, woodlands, and grounds to explore.
Characterised by the high surrounding hills and the picturesque river Derwent flowing through, Matlock Bath is a must-visit town. As well as independent restaurants and shops, here you can enjoy the Heights of Abraham, a 60-acre hilltop garden with a cable car.
20 miles away you'll find Buxton, a beautiful spa town which also offers plenty to see and do. The natural springs were the site of Roman mineral baths!
For rainy days, Treak Cliff Cavern in Castleton is well worth a visit. The dog-friendly underground tours allow you to discover the memorising blue Johnstone as well as the purple mineral that's completely unique to the caverns.
