Find My Favourite Holiday Cottages in Priestcliffe
If you want to immerse yourself in a tiny farming community in the heart of the Peak District, a holiday cottage in Priestcliffe could be exactly what you’re looking for. This peaceful hamlet is surrounded by beautiful countryside, a mile or so north of the village of Taddington. Priestcliffe is little more than a scattering of local sandstone buildings overlooking gently sloping fields, separated by ancient drystone walls. A series of country lanes meander through the ancient woods and farmland around the hamlet, and you can walk for miles with only the sound of the birds in the hedgerows for company.
Don’t miss Priestcliffe Lees, a lovely nature reserve on a steep limestone hillside with breathtaking views of the River Wye and surrounding moorland. As you explore this enchanting environment, you’ll notice lead spoil heaps, a reminder of the area’s history of lead mining. In summer, the heaps are alive with yellow mountain pansies and the fragrant scent of thyme. Look out for rare birds, such as nuthatches, green woodpeckers and tree-creepers.
