Travelling with Kids safely
The Surrounding areas of the site & The Peak District are very kid friendly & safe. Push-Chairs are always handy for those tired little legs whilst walking miles. The exceptionally long list of days out they will never get bored. if you are staying at your cottage for the day make use of the Play area & Meadow for a "Kick About"
