There’s something quietly special about a Mayfield walk in spring. Winding lanes, a gentle brook, the scent of wild garlic in the air… it’s the kind of place that invites you to slow down.

I often find myself wondering who has wandered these same paths before us, who has sat beneath these leaves and taken in the same view. These fields and tracks have been here for generations — what stories would they tell, if they could? What secrets do they hold?

If you’re staying with us, take a little time to explore them… you never know what you might feel along the way 🌿

Grey skies, wet days, and a quick 20-minute drive for the cosiest coffee stop ☕️

Wandering through the woods never gets old.
This is one of my favourite local walks, starting in Dimmingsdale, winding through the peaceful trees of Hawksmoor Wood (owned by the National Trust and now a nature reserve), then back across open fields in the beautiful Churnet Valley. 6 miles, fresh air, birdsong: pure quiet magic ✨
I’ve been walking here for over 20 years and I’m still finding new paths and little trails.
Finished, as always, with a well-earned coffee at , and all just a 15-minute drive away. Some places never stop surprising you 💚

✨ Step out of the front door and this 3-mile wander takes you through fields, woodland, and down into a quiet valley where Ordley Brook flows. Along the way, sweeping views of Stanton and Mayfield make every step worth it. 🌿

Follow the woodland trails, enjoy the sound of the stream, and finish with a well-earned bite to eat or a drink at the charming Ramblers Retreat . ✨

One of the fabulous stall holders at this year’s Mayfield Village Show. If you’re staying at Rose and Crown House you can use our fridge, microwave and crockery in the breakfast room to heat up an evening meal and save the custard if eating out. This Sri Lankan street food looks like a perfect choice!
