Oaklands Lodges offers a superb central location for visitors wishing to visit a wonderfully diverse range of attractions and outdoor activities across Derbyshire, Staffordshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire and Cheshire.

Visiting Dovedale (the gateway to the Peak District), Tutbury Castle and the National Museum of Childhood at the National Trust’s Sudbury Hall are all extremely popular, and only a few miles away. In addition, other favourite’s, all situated within a ten miles radius, include the National Trust’s Kedleston Hall, the historic market towns of Ashbourne and Belper and the thrilling theme park, Alton Towers.

The bustling market town Bakewell (of delicious pudding fame) and the magnificent stately homes of Chatsworth House, Shugborough Hall and Haddon Hall are all within 20 miles of Oaklands Country Lodges, and great days out are easily accessible at Drayton Manor, Waterworld and Gulliver’s Kingdom.

If you’re keen to enjoy our exceptional British countryside, golf and riding are available within two miles and fishing is also enjoyed locally. There are plenty of walking routes, cycle tracks, canals and rivers in easy reach should you be keen to spend more time outdoors as part of your short break or holiday.
