Bradwell Cottages

Self-catering holiday cottages in Bradwell

Bradwell is a picturesque village, where steep winding streets of pretty cottages bedecked with colourful flowers provide a charming backdrop for a holiday in the Peak District National Park. The working village is set within the Hope Valley, one of the most popular areas in the national park, offering beautiful views and invigorating walks. The favourite route across Winnats Pass, Mam Tor and the Great Ridge can be found nearby.

Walk through the village of Bradwell itself for an insight into what life was like in days gone by. The birthplace of Samuel Fox, who invented the steel umbrella frame, is found here, although perhaps more of interest to today’s visitors is the shop where Bradwell’s famous ice-cream originated. On a sunny summer’s day, it’s good to note that the ice cream is now available from various outlets in the village. The limestone church, too, is worth a visit, while families will appreciate the well-equipped public play area next to the river which runs through the village.

When it comes to finding sustenance after days out rambling through the romantic landscape, a hearty meal can be found in one of the village’s traditional pubs, which include the White Hart Inn and the curiously named Shoulder of Mutton. For a quick meal to eat back at your holiday cottage, Bradwell’s fish and chip shop is a good bet. A local shop and bakehouse means you needn’t venture far to pick up picnic food or evening snacks.
