Moor Top Farm

Visit the tap room at Drone Valley Brewery (five minutes’ drive) to sample the home-made offerings and support this community-led business. The volunteers who run it also organise monthly music sessions under a heated marquee, and your dog is welcome, too. On the eastern fringes of Peak District National Park, Chatsworth House (25 minutes) has far-reaching views over the River Derwent and the hills beyond. The mansion’s opulent interiors include the Painted Hall, with gilded walkways and balconies, and the Oak Room, with ornate wooden panels and spiral columns. The expansive grounds were largely designed by 18th-century landscape gardener Capability Brown. Built over the course of several centuries, Sheffield Cathedral also includes elements added as recently as the 1990s, such as the stained glass of the spiky, angular Lantern Tower. Stock up on picnic essentials at the Moor Market, then head to one of the city’s green areas, such as Weston Park or Devonshire Green.
