There are walking routes take are directly from the properties too in which you can walk for miles or keep it short and sweet, whichever you prefer.
Alton Towers theme park lies just a couple of miles from Ramsor Farm and makes for a great day out for all the family with a mixture of rides for different ages as well as Splash Landings water park. Another great place to visit is Peak Wildlife Park where you come face to face with iconic species and have a ‘walk through’ experience. There is something for everybody here and Ramsfor Farm offers the perfect base to retreat back to after a fun filled day.

Very comfortable stay. Uncluttered, but nice decor, with cottage/barn vibes. Very high feature vaulted ceilings upstairs - both en-suites are very spacious and very nicely done. Second bedroom is quite compact but we expected this - no problem. First bedroom is large. Would prefer 10am departure rather than 9am. Highly recommended. Good communication. Thank you.
