Additional Information

Description

Deep Mid-wicket is a 130 year old former quarry workers cottage located in the quiet village of Buxworth on the edge of the Peak District National Park.

The house, as the name suggests, is opposite Buxworth cricket club which makes for some interesting summer entertainment as well as uninterrupted views from the front of the property.

We are also only a few 100 yards from the historic Bugsworth Basin and Navigation Inn.

The house has been newly renovated and now provides comfortable self-catering holiday accommodation for up to 5 adults.

Whether you want to come to the Peak District to do some walking, cycling, climbing, photography, pot holing or sightseeing, the location of the cottage means you can quickly be out and about and making the most of your time here.

Local Information

Bugsworth Basin

Only a few hundred meters from the cottage you will find Bugsworth Basin. The basin forms the end of the Peak Forest Canal and in its heyday was the largest and busiest inland port on the narrow canal system in Britain. Quite a claim to fame for a relatively small village.

The Canal Basin is now a Scheduled Ancient Monument, a reminder of our industrial heritage. Today, it is unique as the only surviving canal and tramway interchange in the UK.

The basin was reopened to boats in 2005 and since then there have been gradual developments made to the basin to provide more information for visitors and boaters passing through. There is currently a small visitor’s centre that although only opened limited hours has some amazing pictures of the restoration process. Dotted round the site you will also find some new information plaques describing the buildings and activities that were part of the daily life of the basin.

If you are into photography it is a great place to go at different times of day to get some really great atmospheric shots.

The Peak Forrest Tramway Trail

The Peak Forrest Tramway Trail is a footpath that runs along part of the old Peak Forrest Tramway that ran from Bugsworth Canal Basin, at the head of the Peak Forest Canal, to the limestone quarries at Dove Holes Dale. The original purpose of the tramway was to enable the transportation of limestone from the quarries down to Bugsworth Canal Basin where it was put on to canal boats to be taken, via Manchester, to the Mersey Basin and the rest of the world beyond.

Parts of the trail are a bit industrial but it is still a pleasant walk / cycle and a great way to get to Whitehough and the Old Hall Inn.

Eccles Pike

I love going up to Eccles Pike, on a clear day or a clear evening. The view is brilliant.

It is a short but very steep walk up from the cottage but well worth the effort and makes you feel like you have earned a glass of wine by the time you get back!

Alternatively you can take the car most of the way and park over the back of the hill. The Road is very narrow with only a few passing places and parking is limited so pick a time when you think it might be quiet i.e. not a sunny Sunday afternoon!

On the summit is a circular plaque identifying the places you can see all the way round the stunning 360 degrees panorama.
