Morning mist clings to the limestone walls of Earl Sterndale, and up here at Jericho Farm the farmyard smells of old stone and wet grass, proper Peak District air that clears your head before breakfast.

This one's for walkers who want a solid roof after a day on the hills — there's a guest house and camping pods, so you can pick your level of comfort. Earl Sterndale sits high in the White Peak, all dry-stone walls and quiet lanes, the kind of village where you pass more sheep than cars. It's walking country: Dove Dale, Chrome Hill, the Tissington Trail all within striking distance, and you're well-placed for Buxton or Bakewell if you need supplies or a proper café.

The facilities aren't spelled out in detail, so worth ringing ahead to check what's included with your pod or room. Dogs are a maybe — ask when you book. Campfires might be allowed, but confirm on arrival. It's open all year, which means you could have snow on those limestone ridges in winter or long June evenings watching swallows dive over the barns. Quiet, rural, proper farming landscape.

Peak District Boundary Walk Stage 1

Traces the southern edge of the Peak District through rolling farmland and quiet valleys with moderate climbs.

Young walkers aged 7+ should cope fine with breaks. Dogs welcome but livestock present in many fields, so leads essential.
