A visit to the Peak District is guaranteed to be an escape from the stresses of everyday life. Whether you choose to go for a hike through an otherworldly gorge or explore one of the national park’s caves, there’s something relaxing about immersing yourself in the countryside.
It’s not just the Peak District’s natural wonders which can soothe the soul - it’s also home to quiet, sleepy villages with charming buildings and a slower pace of life. One of these is Over Haddon, around a 90 minute drive from Manchester.
Perched on a ledge above Lathkill Dale, this small village is surrounded by the rolling hills of the White Peak with glorious views stretching on for miles. With a modest population of just 255 people and not a busy road in sight, Over Haddon has been named one of the most tranquil spots for a staycation in the UK.
