Find My Favourite Holiday Cottages in Leek

Leek is a delightful historic market town – still bustling with a variety of traditional weekly markets. It lies on the southern fringes of The Peak District in Staffordshire. It offers a range of self-catering accommodation in cute stone cottages and houses for holidays in all seasons. You’ll eat well on holiday here; they like their food in Leek, as demonstrated by the wide range of local food shops – butchers, bakers, delicatessens and more selling a diversity of local produce. Leek’s attractive town centre is largely unspoiled by modern development, while the huge Victorian Mills have long since been converted into other uses, such as antique centres. The town is surrounded by the appealingly rugged gritstone moorland of the Peak District, offering plenty of opportunities for activities in the great outdoors. Walkers can choose from dramatic moorland hikes over the rocky ridges offering splendid views or enjoy a leisurely towpath ramble alongside the tranquil waters of the Caldon Canal.
