Luxury Holiday Cottages In Manifold Valley
The Manifold Valley provides the perfect route for walkers, cyclists and sightseers as it is mainly flat and follows the course of the old Leek and Manifold Railway, a tiny narrow-gauge track that served the local farming community for thirty years delivering milk and cheese to customers. When it was lifted in 1934 the valley became peaceful once more and the track, which runs for eight miles from Hulme End to Waterhouses, became a favourite with visitors to the Peak District. There are several caves close to the Manifold Track, the most impressive of which is Thor's Cave a former home to Stone Age dwellers and believed to have been inhabited for some 10,000 years. Wetton Mill, which was established in the valley by William Cavendish, second son of Bess of Hardwick was finally abandoned in 1857 and one of the buildings has been converted into a very popular tea room. The Manifold Valley is the perfect spot in which to rent one of the luxury holiday cottages on offer and have a holiday to remember.
