A video tour of Bakewell and the peak district national park in Derbyshire
Derbyshire's peak district National Park covers an area of 555 square miles (or 1437 km2) and is set between the cities of Manchester and Sheffield to the North and Stoke on Trent and Derby in the South. It's a country of rolling hills and valleys with some of the most beautiful scenery England has to offer.
The video takes us on a tour starting with Padley Gorge, just outside Sheffield's city limits and then onto Bakewell, with its popular Monday Market. Ten minutes drive takes you to the picture post card village of Ashford on the Water and then onto Monsal head, reputedly the best view in the Peak District and Monsal Dale
The Hope Valley is home to the small village of Castleton and here you will find many of the shops selling jewellery and artefacts made from 'Blue John', mineral stone that was mined in the numerous caves around the village. Just outside Castleton is Mam Tor, scene of the largest landslip in Europe. The video finishes with a visit to the three reservoirs of Lady Bower, Derwent and Howden. It was here that the Dam Busters practiced for the raids on Germany during WW11. From here, a short journey over Snake Pass will bring you to the city of Manchester.

Places to see in ( Kingswinford - UK )
Kingswinford is a suburban area of the Metropolitan Borough of Dudley, in the West Midlands, England. In 2001, its population was 25,808, falling to 25,191 at the 2011 Census. Historically a part of Staffordshire, Kingswinford is mentioned in the Domesday Book its name relates to a ford for the King's swine (Kingswin(e)ford) - Latin Swinford Regis. The ancient parish of Kingswinford spanned Wordsley, Brierley Hill and Quarry Bank. The parishes of Kingswinford and Amblecote formed the Kingswinford rural district in 1894. It gave its name to the Kingswinford Parliament constituency from 1885 until 1950. However, Amblecote became an urban district in 1898, leaving Kingswinford one of a minority of single-parish rural districts in England.
The current economic focus of Kingswinford is tourism, education and housing for commuters. Positioned at the western edge of the West Midlands Urban Area it borders on a rural area extending past the River Severn; but its position at the edge of the Black Country and its long standing in the area means it has had significant industrial influence in the past.
Kingswinford is a part of the West Midlands metropolitan county, West Midlands conurbation, and the Metropolitan Borough of Dudley. It was historically a rural district in Staffordshire, but in 1933 it was divided between Seisdon in the north and Brierley Hill in the south. Kingswinford is situated on the edge of the conurbation and to the north, east and south lie other suburban areas of the Black Country. It was linked by rail to Oxley, and the colliery at Baggeridge. However, the border to the west is green belt, which stretches for many miles through Shropshire, beyond the Severn Valley and into Wales. The Kingswinford DY6 postal district covers the entirety of Kingswinford and Wall Heath as well as nearby rural areas such as Hinksford and Ashwood.
From 1894 to 1938, Kingswinford was the centre of Kingswinford Rural District Council. It was then part of Brierley Hill Urban District Council and since 1966 has been controlled by Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council. It now forms part of the DY6 postal district. Recent house building, commencing in the 1950s and 1960s, has largely destroyed the original rural character of Kingswinford, the result being the complete absorption of the former village into the large urban area that is the Dudley borough. This turn of events is lamented by some but has also brought considerable economic wealth into the area through the arrival of upmarket housing estates. Until its closure in 2012, Kingswinford was home to food retailer Julian Graves' head office and distribution centre.
Kingswinford has many local shops in the town centre, along with five public houses and bars. Once a town centre with a cinema, modern 1960s precinct and local quality butcher's, baker's and grocer's, it saw decline in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Many locals attribute this to the opening of Merry Hill Shopping Centre. Unlike Dudley town centre, Kingswinford has brought many locals back to the town centre by concentrating on quality shops and attractions. Kingswinford town centre doesn't just attract locals, however. Due to its location and major road networks that pass through, many people who use the A491 road, stop in Kingswinford.
Broadfield House Glass Museum, Compton Drive, was housed in a splendid grade II listed building set in its own grounds and located in the historic Stourbridge Glass Quarter. It had a notable collection of British glass, much of it made locally, from historic 18th century pieces to contemporary works from Britain's leading glass artists. The museum eventually closed in September 30, 2015. A programme of lectures and events, and support for the work of the glass museum is organised by the friends of Broadfield House Glass Museum.
Despite its roots as a small village, Kingswinford is now better described as a dormitory town to Dudley, containing as it does a large number of commuting communities, small industrial businesses and several schools.
( Kingswinford - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Kingswinford . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Kingswinford - UK

Hartington - Peak District Villages
Village Guide - Hartington. Hartington lies to the west of the A515 Ashbourne to Buxton road and nestles sedately in the heart of magnificent limestone scenery on the Derbyshire side of the River Dove, which marks the border with neighbouring Staffordshire. Known as `The Gateway to Dovedale` this most picturesque of White Peak villages boasts a wealth of attractions to the visitor and is famous for it`s Stilton cheese; indeed it held a Royal Warrant during the reign of George V for supplying the King`s Stilton! Cheese making, farming, and the tourist industry drive the village`s economy, and this is evidenced by an array of retail establishments which surround the former market square, village green, and duck - pond in the centre of the village. With the exception of Derby & Chesterfield, Hartington was the first in the County to be granted a Market Charter when in 1203 William de Ferrers, Earl of Derby & Lord of the Manor of Hartington was granted a Royal Charter to hold a weekly market and an annual fair. For more information on this village and many others go to Peak District Villages website from the Peak District Online Group

Matlock - Peak District Villages
presents Matlock . If you don't know the area and are passing through Matlock Bath on the busy A6, you are in for quite a surprise. You would be forgiven for thinking you had taken a wrong turn somewhere, been mysteriously bungled into a time machine and deposited in a 1960's seaside town. And no wonder, with typical Victorian buildings, fish & chip shops and amusement arcades lining the esplanade, and even illuminations in October, this jolly village has all the appearance of an English holiday resort.
The only difference is that instead of the sea, it has the river Derwent gushing through the steep gorge on the other side of the road. If you divert your eyes from the long line of eateries, hostelries, shops etc. and take the time to look around, you will note the imposing cliffs and wooded hillsides which form the spectacular backdrop to Matlock Bath; it is easy to see why this place became so popular - not just for the scenery, but for the medicinal waters found here in the late 1600's; a bath was made in the waters - hence the name of the village. The Victorians also loved their spa towns and therefore the place flourished in the nineteenth century - even Queen Victoria visited in 1832.
Today, it has something for everyone, whether it is a family with younger children visiting the theme park Gulliver's Kingdom set on the hillside above; a family with perhaps slightly older children wanting a thrill usually only reserved for ski-resorts - namely, a cable car ride up to the spectacular Heights of Abraham; couples of all ages wanting a delightful river stroll; inquisitive folk wishing to visit the Peak District Mining Museum; shoppers, window-shoppers, and hungry hoards. The earlier mention of fish & chips shops and amusement arcades may give a wrong impression; there is much more to Matlock Bath these days - especially in the summer time when there is a distinctly Bohemian feel to it. Smart cafés and bars are slotted in between more traditional pubs, restaurants, tea shops, ice-cream parlours and gift shops - so even gastronomically, it has appeal for all.

Places to see in ( Castle Donington - UK )
Places to see in ( Castle Donington - UK )
Castle Donington is a small market town and civil parish in Leicestershire, England. It is situated on the edge of the National Forest close to East Midlands Airport. Castle Donington stands on the former Nottingham to Birmingham trunk road. The town is a mix of the old and new, with modern shops mixed with dignified Georgian and Regency houses. Several timber framed houses dating from the 17th century and earlier survive along the main road. The town has no rail station, but East Midlands Parkway opened early in 2008 at Ratcliffe-on-Soar providing links on the Midland Main Line.
In 1868 the Midland Railway opened the Castle Donington Line, which included Castle Donington and Shardlow railway station, on the northern edge of the town. The station was closed to regular passenger traffic in 1930, and closed completely and demolished in 1968. The access driveway still exists but for pedestrians only, and is the start of a footpath to Hemington, running past the site of the old goods yard, now a scrap yard. The railway remains open for substantial flows of freight traffic as an alternative to the route via Derby.
Bondgate, Borough Street and Clapgun Street formed the nucleus of the historic village, with the Castle formerly standing at the eastern end of Borough Street on Castle Hill. It was abandoned and its stone used to build Donington Hall within Donington Park. Castle Donington has two primary schools, St Edwards and Orchard Primary School, each serving roughly one half of the town. Castle Donington College, which celebrated its 50th anniversary on 10 September 2007, takes students from ages 10–14 who then move on to either Hind Leys Community College in Shepshed or Ashby Grammar School in Ashby-de-la-Zouch as there is no Upper School in Castle Donington.
East Midlands Airport is served by several airlines including flyBE, bmi regional, Ryanair, Jet2.Com, Thomson Airways and Thomas Cook Airlines. The express parcels company DHL has a base at the airport. Donington Park motor racing circuit is located to the south east of the village. The site of the former power station has been redeveloped in to a major retail distribution hub and warehousing area. The principal tenant is Marks and Spencer.
The annual May Bank Holiday Medieval Market takes place in Borough Street and includes local stalls selling various kinds of produce and goods accompanied by dancing and music. On the second Saturday of every month a farmers market is held at Castle Donington Bowls Club. Donington Sunday Market takes place virtually every Sunday at Donington Park. This is a very large market attracting hundreds of shoppers.
Donington Park was the original venue for the Monsters of Rock festivals through the 1980s and 1990s, and is now the home of the annual Download Festival. It also hosted a Formula One Grand Prix – The European Grand Prix – in April 1993, which was won by Ayrton Senna. It was also set to be the home of the British Grand Prix from 2010 for at least 10 years, but the agreement was cancelled due to financial problems. The circuit also hosts the Donington Grand Prix Collection, the world's largest collection of Formula One and Grand Prix vehicles. Brian Henton, an F1 driver, was born in Castle Donington.

Rowsley - Peak District Villages
presents Rowsley. The village of Rowsley sits astride the A6 between Bakewell and Matlock and a mile from the grand medieval manor of Haddon Hall owned by the Duke of Rutland, who until relatively recently owned most of the village too - and about three and a half miles south west of Chatsworth House, home of the Duke & Duchess of Devonshire.
Rowsley is situated at the junction of the two valleys of the Rivers Derwent and Wye, and bisected by both the Derwent and the main A6 trunk road giving the impression of two separate settlements.
Indeed, Great Rowsley on the west bank of the Derwent and Little Rowsley on the east existed side by side until the two were amalgamated in a local government reshuffle of April 1987 when the County Council decided that two into one would go and Great & Little became known officially, collectively and simply - as `Rowsley'.There was an Anglo-Saxon settlement here before the Norman Conquest, and in the Domesday Survey `Rowesley' is mentioned as an outlier of the Royal Manor of Bakewell, occupying the `tongue of fertile land between the Derwent and the Wye'.
The village has been a Haddon domain since feudal times and down the centuries first the Vernon's, and then the Manners Family under the generous patronage of various Dukes of Rutland, have provided the village with employment and housing - and with it's church, school, village hall, playing fields and many of it's more noteable buildings.
Of the two once separate settlements the Ducal domain of `Great' Rowsley was the older - whilst conversely `Little' Rowsley was the larger in population - and almost entirely a product of the great railway age of the early nineteenth century.
The oldest surviving structure in the village is the bridge over the Derwent which was originally a fifteenth century packhorse bridge, widened to carry increasingly motorised traffic in 1925.

Best hotel in Bakewell? H Boutique Hotel in Town Centre, Peak District National Park
View the bedroom, beds, bathroom, shower, restaurant, cafe, reception in this video.
The H Boutique Hotel features a cafe and restaurant open to the public. It has ten rooms – three suites and seven luxury doubles – decorated to a high standard. Natural colours and light oak adorn the space. The en-suite bathrooms are modern and feature bath amd shower in the ones we viewed. Central location, 2 mins walk from town square and bus stop. 1min walk to the river.
Throughout the premesis all areas were clean and well furnished, everything appears brand new.
The bar and the restaurant welcome guests and public for breakfast, lunch, dinner. There is a roast on Sunday.
When we visited, the portions were generous and the service was on the whole very good, with some inconsistencies such being asked by multiple staff the same question (have we been asked for our drinks order) or not knowing (or finding out for us) the difference between the two elderflower drinks on the menu being made up for by going the extra mile on several other things. The menu included, chicken cesear salad, fish and chips, Eton Mess Cheesecake, a generous and great cheeseboard with decent crackers and exceptional butter.
All information correct at time of publishing.
This is an independent commentary based on one visit in July 2018. We have no connection, personal or business, with the hotel and receive no financial or other benefits from the hotel, it’s owners or any other party connected to it.
