Description: Alsop en le Dale is in a beautiful country setting just minutes from Dovedale. All of your walks can be taken by stepping outside the door and starting your walk from the fantastic Tissington Trail. The Farm cottages are just a few minutes’ away from the A515 Asbourne to Buxton road, which provides the perfect gateway to explore the rest of the Peak District and beyond.   Locally there are many attractions including Tissington Hall, the Tissington Trail, Dovedale, the village of Hartington and the Georgian market town of Ashbourne. Within half an hour of the door you can be at Chatsworth, Haddon Hall, Alton Towers, Bakewell or the Buxton Opera House. Or alternatively put on your walking boots and take to the Derbyshire countryside.   FACILITIES These two beautiful cottages are named Pinster and Winnets.

We occasionally have Gloucester heifers for sale (Gloucester Cattle for Sale)   There are only about 700 Gloucester cows in existence, and a number of these are on our farm. Gloucester cattle are a dual purpose breed - they are good milk producers, provide fine lean beef and were also used as draught oxen.   One of the farm hands is our Australian Kelpie dog called Chatsworth Mollie. She helps round up cattle and she's as soft as a brush! We also have two cats called Mango (ginger) and Chutney (black / white).   Our rare breed Gloucester cattle are out and about from April to late October. This is Alsop Frideswide.   Our Wellsummers and Light Sussex poultry are free range. Between February and November they lay eggs that are for sale on the farm.   The farm is located next to an eleventh century village Church.
