Stone Edge & Hidden Hamlets Loop
Discover some of Derbyshire's nicest hidden hamlets as you take a leisurely half day tour
Service Description
A half day “easy tour” starting from the picturesque Stone Edge area and home of the Peak Edge Hotel that provides the perfect leisurely short eBike tour. You may want to check out the Stone Edge Cupola which was built in 1770 (making it Britain's oldest free standing chimney) before you move on to minor roads which descend down through the hamlet of Upper-town before climbing steeply to cross Amber Lane. A short section of main road then leads to the wonderful Gin Lane which meanders past Overtone Hall to the hamlet of Milltown. Here perhaps a stop at the Miners Arms Inn for refreshment or perhaps wait for a couple of miles when the 3 pubs and many cafes of Ashover will be revealed. It is then a climb out to the final hamlet of Alton (one of the locations of the popular BBC series Peak Practise) before taking more minor lanes back to the Peak Edge Hotel.
