The area
Cliffside House is set in about one acre that includes a woodland area that has a variety of wildlife and plants and some limestone fossils. Crich 'Stand' on the cliff top above is a short walk away. The Stand is the memorial to the Sherwood Foresters Regiment, now merged with the Mercian Regiment: It is a viewpoint and from the top panoramic views can be seen.
Attractions
Amongst the many good reasons to visit Derbyshire are:
Tramway Village ( very short walk) www.tramway.co.uk
The stately homes of Chatsworth, Haddon Hall, Hardwick Hall,
The Peak District National Park and surrounding countryside for walking, cycling or climbing,
The historic buildings of the Industrial Revolution at Cromford Mills
The Spa town of Matlock Bath with the attractions of the 'Heights of Abraham' and 'Gulliver's Kingdom'.
The towns of Matlock, Bakewell Wirksworth, Alfreton and Belper are nearby for Banks, Café's, Restaurants, and general shopping and further afield the Cities of Derby, Nottingham and Sheffield are easily reached.
Eating out.
Pub food can be found an easy walk away at the Cliff Inn, or the tea rooms a little further on. In the village of Crich half a mile away there is fish and chip shop, a small supermarket, chemist, post office, bakery with tea room. In the surrounding villages many of the pubs will serve real ale and food. Further afield a selection of good quality restaurants will probably require advance booking.
