What To Do

The Old Schoolhouse, a b&b in Derbyshire, is in the centre of Bonsall, a small village nestling in the hills above Matlock Bath. There are wonderful walks all around and Bonsall offers the peace and tranquillity of a small village - yet is on the doorstep to outstanding scenery and many of Derbyshire and the Peak District attractions.

Village amenities include two pubs. The Barley Mow at the top of The Dale, has its own website and is well known for UFO sightings, Friday night music evening, food and organised walks. The Kings Head does good food and has a quiz night on a Sunday evening. Both pubs provide live music on a Saturday evening.

The village recreation ground is close by, used for village events such as the Carnival and well-dressing (last week in July). Visitors are welcome to join in any village hall activities and there is a regular luncheon club and film club.

Bonsall is close to many attractions and places of interest including Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall, Carsington Water, Crich Tramway Museum, and the The Derwent Valley World Heritage Site.

For walks, the Limestone Way passes through the village.

Bonsall is also in easy reach of Buxton, Derby, Nottingham, Sheffield, and the lovely market town of Chesterfield with its famous twisted spire. The Old Schoolhouse is the perfect UK accommodation for who wants to spend holidays in Bonsall.
