The East Midlands is a fantastic place to enjoy a luxury break. This area truly has so much to offer in terms of beautiful countryside, but also bustling towns with plenty going on. A great place for a romantic getaway, but also perfect for a holiday with the kids. If it’s history you like, there are a great number of English Heritage and National Trust properties in this region, such as the Elizabethan Kirby Hall and the wonderfully overgrown Calke Abbey.
A Luxury Holiday in the glorious Peak District
Enjoy the incomparable beauty of the Peak District National Park, with its country walks for all levels of ability, quaint country pubs and fantastic, locally-sourced food. The stunning, classic English dale of Dovedale is a highly recommended must-see for your holiday, with limestone features Lovers’ Leap and Reynard’s Cave and the lovely stone village of Milldale.
