A village in Derbyshire has been named one of the best places to go on holiday in the UK, thanks to its beautiful countryside and close connections to lovely market towns.
This quiet village in the Peak District might not be well known to everyone, but it’s now getting the attention it deserves for its charm and natural beauty!
While the Peak District is famous for its stunning valleys and wild moors, this quaint village is a hidden gem that's starting to stand out.
Sitting at the start of one of the most scenic walking routes in the National Park, Monyash might not be a place you’ve heard of, but it’s now being called one of the top holiday destinations in the UK.
The village’s mix of natural beauty, strong sense of community, and safety, with its “very low” crime rate, has made it popular with both tourists and experts.
Lathkill Dale, which is nearby, is perfect for nature lovers. It’s a protected area because of its special wildlife and features limestone valleys, caves, waterfalls, meadows, and lots of different plants and animals.
During the warm summer months, many visitors come to explore, but the area is big enough that it never feels too crowded.
If you’re driving, there are even more amazing places to visit nearby. These include the Monsal Dale viaduct, the Monsal Trail cycling route along an old railway line, the famous Chatsworth House, and the spa town of Buxton. The local food is also something to look forward to.
The village green, which has an ancient market cross, becomes a lively spot in summer, with lots of people enjoying picnics and the relaxed atmosphere.
Remember - LeaveNoTrace!
As with anywhere outdoors, kindly keep these areas pristine and wild by taking all trash with you. The amount of complaints we have seen since the pandemic is crazy. It's really not that hard to take your rubbish with you!
Litter tends to spread, so if you see any and are able to pick it up and dispose of it outside the hidden gem, it will help keep the area tidy.
