 Here's a few suggestions of highlights for things to do in and around Cheshire country and the Peak District.
Walking & Cycling
Excellent hiking and walking paths and routes of outstanding variety can be found throughout the peak District. Enjoy the extensive network of cycleways too. Superb mountain biking in the Hayfield/New Mills/Disley area.
Golf
There are numerous great courses to challenge the golfer. We especially recommend Ashbourne, Buxton High Peak, Cavendish and Chapel en le Frith.
Fishing
The jewel in the crown has to be the Derwent Reservoir at Ladybower. This is the only water in England where you can get a day ticket to fish for true wild brown trout.
 Wildlife
Great bird and wildlife watching spots include Derwent Valley/Derwent Dale, Northeast Derbyshire Moors and Matlock Forest, Monsal Dale, Chatsworth Park and Chatsworth House, Hardwick Park and Hardwick Hall, and Ogston Reservoir
Sailing and watersports
At Carsington Water,there is a great watersports centre, with canoes, sailing dinghies and sailboards available to hire
Horseriding
Northfield Farm is a British Horse society approved riding establishment. Situated near to Flash, England's highest village; great views and ozone aplenty! Hacking and trekking is available for all ages (over 8yrs) and abilities, even the very young children can have a 'sit on'.
Flying
Enjoy a Dragon Balloon Company, modern adventure that combines the thrill of flying with the calm sensation of floating. Or enjoy memorable pleasure flights with Pennine Helicopters.
 Outdoor activities
There's a tremendous variety of activity operators in the area to help you in trying your hand at a wide range of outdoor activity. Ask the hotel for full details.
Shopping
Treat yourself or take home a souvenir from one of the excellent shopping centres in Stockport, Bakewell, and of course Manchester and the great Trafford Centre. Or simply browse in the many country stores found in other towns and villages.
Arts & Crafts
Visit local galleries or craft shops or take in a theatrical occasion at one of the many theatres in Manchester.
Indoor Sports
The Triangle Health and Fitness Club at the hotel has it all!
