The Barn in the Lane is situated on the edge of the beautiful, historic hamlet of Somersal Herbert in Derbyshire.
We are less than fifteen miles––about 25 minutes by car––from Alton Towers, half an hour from the water and walks of Carsington Water and only 10 minutes from Sudbury Hall & The Museum of Childhood, one of many National Trust properties within easy striking distance. The Peak District is a mecca for walking and every conceivable outdoor activity is catered for somewhere in Derbyshire. The market town of Uttoxeter is 15 minutes away by car, Ashbourne is 20 minutes and Belper just 35. There are supermarkets in all of the above towns as well as small shops for bread & milk nearby. There are a number of great pubs and country restaurants close to us which come well recommended. The nearest railway station to Somersal Herbert is at Uttoxeter which is on the Crewe–to–Derby line. |
