Leek

[Glassofshloer]

Morning all

We are going to the Leek area for New Year (renting a picturesque cottage! So excited), with my DH and 2 year old.

Does anyone have any recommendations for local things to do please that are toddler friendly?

Not worried about the weather we will wrap up & go unless there is torrential rain.

Thanks in advance!

Pleasant circular walk around Rudyard Lake. There is a mini railway, check the timetable

Walk around Tissington lake

Explore the Roaches (with sturdy walking boots & walking gear)

Walk along Caldon canal to Froghall

Further afield you have Stoke, Bakewell, Buxton

Titteswirth reservoir. There is a light trail at trentham gardens and loads to do there. Peak wildlife park. Bakewell and Chatsworth house all decorated for christmas.

Tiitesworth that should say.

Fantastic thank you very much

Buxton has Little Rascals soft play and also a child friendly cafe in the park. It's 30 mins by car from Leek - good if really too wet/cold to be outside and some toddler energy needs an outlet.

There's a woodland walk up the hill to Solomon's Temple (30 min walk) at Grin Low Woods.

Hope you have a lovely time!

Leek is nice - lots of antique type shops where bargains may be had if you're into that (or possibly not with a toddler!)

Bakewell and Buxton both good for feeding ducks.

Bakewell has a great bakery selling homity pies which are fab for a winter picnic.
