Within 5 minutes of the site thrill seekers will find Alton Towers theme park, wildlife lovers can enjoy Blackbrook Zoological Park, and explorers can cycle through the beautiful Manifold Valley or walk through the conservation projects at Ipstones Edge. A little further afield you can discover the spectacular landscape of the Peak District, visit Chatsworth House and its 1,000 acre park, head underground at the world-famous Blue John Cavern, try water sports at Carsington Water, or wander round the National Trust properties of Ilam Park and Kedleston Hall.
