Location
Taddington is an unspoilt village half-way between the market
towns of Buxton and Bakewell (6 miles each way) in the White
Peak Region of the Peak District. The area is renowned for
its beautiful scenery and is popular with walkers, climbers
and cyclists. Footpaths can be accessed from the doorstep.
The village has one pub serving good quality home-cooked
food and there is another just outside but within easy walking
distance.

which has been completely redecorated in 2008.
