Visitors to the Hayloft can enjoy many walks from the door such as the beauty of Biggin Dale, Wolfscote Dale, Pilsbury Castle as well as the Peak District National Park Authority Heritage Walks. The local trails (for walkers/cyclists/horse-riders) including the Tissington Trail, Manifold Trails and the new Cycle Trails Plus can all be accessed in or near to Hartington.
After a day enjoying the beautiful landscape and stunning scenery, you can safely store your cycles with us at the Hayloft and even use our drying facilities in readiness for your next adventure into the Peak District and nearby Staffordshire Moorlands.
Towns nearby to the Hayloft will provide a wealth of activities for a day out.
