Great Longstone

Just two miles from Bakewell, Great Longstone is a peaceful limestone village with Georgian manors, a pretty green, and easy access to the Monsal Trail. The old railway line runs just south of the village, offering flat, scenic routes for walkers and cyclists. Nearby Monsal Head provides one of the Peak District’s most iconic views. The village itself is home to traditional pubs like the Crispin Inn and White Lion, and hosts annual well dressings and arts festivals. It’s a gentle base for exploring the White Peak, with a timeless feel and welcoming atmosphere.
