A lovely little village nestled in a wonderful rural setting, Chinley lies on the western edge of the Peak District National Park. Popular with walkers, who are attracted by Chinley’s close proximity to Kinder Scout, visitors are well-catered for with the village’s collection of pubs, cafes and restaurants. Serious walkers will wish to head east from the village, across the green foothills to the russet expanse of Kinder’s moorland plateau for a starting step onto the Pennine Way or Snake Pass. Families and those looking for easier roaming can venture west along the beautiful Sett Valley Trail towards New Mills with the Torrs Riverside Park, a peaceful place for recreation and relaxation. Within just a short drive are the picture-perfect High Peak villages of Chapel-en-le-Frith, boasting a cobbled marketplace and historic old stocks, and Whaley Bridge, with its canal basin and a good range of local amenities. Just a little further is Castleton, with its famous caverns and Norman Castle, as well as the popular spa town of Buxton, with its fabulous Opera House and Victorian architecture and park.

It is positioned in a fantastic central position to enjoy everything around the Dark Peak. But to be fair you donât need to venture far. Walks galore in all directions. Lovely and quiet position with views to die for. Village a short walk away where people are so friendly. The owners or the cottage are lovely people and you can not help but love them. I love my walking and have stayed in better and worse cottages over the years. But this place is a walkers dream. Loved it.
