About
the Hope Valley . . .
Our
B&B guest house is situated in Bamford
in the Hope Valley, an area of spectacular
scenery
with superb walking trails and footpaths in the Peak District National
Park.
Bamford
is a peaceful and tranquil Peak
District village set in the Hope Valley,
near to where the river Derwent meets the river Noe.
Pioneer House is close to the Derwent
Valley and Ladybower Reservoirs, and also the Derwent and
Howden
dams (right), once famous for the training of the 'Dambusters'
squadron, and now an excellent spot for fishing
surrounded by wonderful views of hills and woodland. |

Not
far away is
Castleton, famous for its show
caverns
and
the village of Hathersage has legendary connections with Robin Hood and
Jane Eyre. By
far the best reason for visiting us is for the
excellent walking
opportunities in this area, in the centre of which lies the
village of
Bamford.
The recent changes in the law regarding
rights of
way mean that Bamford
Edge (left) is now accessible along its entire length. This
superb
panoramic walk is easily reached from our door as is a similarly
breathtaking walk along Stanage Edge.
