HOW TO FIND US

The Peak District National Park offers stunning scenery and breathtaking landscapes for you to enjoy and explore, covering 4 different counties of Staffordshire, Derbyshire, Cheshire and Yorkshire.  

The small rural parish of Tittesworth sits on the SOUTH WESTERN EDGE OF THE PEAK DISTRICT NATIONAL PARK near the North Staffordshire/ Derbyshire border between the market towns of Leek (5 mins) and the spa town of Buxton (15 mins), Ashbourne and Macclesfield (20 mins) and with one of the most beautiful runs over the hills of the peak district to Bakewell (30 mins) with its famous Bakewell pudding - so is ideal for exploring the Peak District National Park and wider area. 

The area is also known as the 'Staffordshire Peaks' or the 'Staffordshire Moorlands' and has excellent walking and outdoor pursuits including cycling and climbing close by.
Not all the Peak District is in Derbyshire! - just take a look at the image below of our rural historic market town Leek with it's 900 year old market charter, cobbled market place, and with iconic Peak District  landscapes of The Roaches, Hen Cloud and Morridge as a back drop on the doorstep (thanks to Jon Crimes for the image)  - Gate way to the south west Peaks ..... and in Staffordshire!! .... love where we live ..... come and discover for yourself!
