Company information

From Kingscroft’s haven of peace and tranquillity, a multitude of experiences await. Surrounded by the Peak District National Park, Buxton is perfectly placed for visitors wishing to allude to the National Park’s beauty and be rejuvenated by its fantastic refreshing air. Whether looking for a serious hike, or an easy-going stroll, the spa town of Buxton and the surrounding area will do its best to serve your needs. Just a couple of minutes drive away from the Monsal Trail, both walkers and cyclists can enjoy a great day out. The Tissington Trail offers an equally fabulous experience. Further afield, the famous dark gritstone of Kinder Scout and the contrasting limestone of Cavedale, offer more Peak District walking routes filled with interest and a sense of adventure. Close by, and easily accessible by car, are Bakewell, Castleton and also Chatsworth House, the ‘Palace of the Peak’ where more stunning surroundings can be enjoyed as the rolling Derbyshire Hills demand your attention. Fresh Derbyshire air calls. Perhaps come prepared with good walking boots and a map. We can help with the snacks!
