East Midlands Cottages
The East Midlands region of England consists of Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire, the Peak District and Derbyshire. These counties make up the Eastern reaches of the Midlands and cover an area of over 15 000 square miles. For details regarding East Midlands cottages check further down the page.
The Peak District and
Derbyshire provide some dramatic and beautiful landscapes. In North Derbyshire, the high rocky crags that rise from rugged moorlands are cut by lushly pastured and wooded dales. Much of this region is set in The Peak District National Park. Considered to be 'adventure country', it is a windswept, scarcely populated area popular for walking and climbing.
The rolling hills and deep valleys of the
Lincolnshire Wolds are also a notable attraction of the East Midlands. Contrasting sharply with the flat East Anglian Fens, the Wolds are peppered with little market towns like Somersby and Caistor which provide ideal bases for exploring the splendor of the surrounding countryside.
Indeed, the whole of the East Midlands region is known for these market villages. Places such as Ashbourne, Bakewell and Matlock exhibit England's rich heritage and exude a type of rural, unspoilt charm that is difficult to find elsewhere in the United Kingdom.
