Baslow provides the ideal
Peak District central base from which to visit the many varied
attractions on offer. These include Bakewell market town and
interesting shopping just 10 minutes away, Buxton spa town
and location of the internationally renowned and restored Buxton
Opera House. The Hope Valley and scenic Derwent Dams are a short
drive.
Close by the magnificent
stately home of Chatsworth House (Britain's finest stately home
- residence of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire), is only
walking distance from Tick Tock Cottage through the beautiful
parkland. Haddon Hall near Bakewell and Hardwick Hall are both
a short easy drive.
Families (with children
of all ages) can enjoy visits to Castleton with the Blue John
Caverns and Matlock Bath with its cable cars and Gulliver's
Kingdom are about 20 - 30 minutes drive. Alton Towers
is about a one
hour drive.
Excellent Spar shop is 250m
walk from your cottage
and large supermarket about 10 minutes drive to Bakewell. All major
supermarkets deliver to Tick Tock Cottage from online ordering

arrive when you are at your cottage.
However, a welcome pack of essentials is always provided with compliments
- the usual milk, bread, butter etc and a local delicacy, Bakewell pudding with single cream.
Enjoy eating out.

at the end of each day, you wish to eat out, there are many good and
reasonably priced eating places and pubs within easy reach. Three local
pubs
are just a stagger from Tick Tock Cottage and have good menus and
guest beers.
