Escape from the city for a weekend in the Cheshire Peak District..
It couldn't be easier. Simply pack your walking boots and let the train whisk you away for a few days of fresh air and exercise, peace and quiet, good wholesome food and cosy country pubs.
Leave the car at home - Virgin Trains operate regular services from London and Manchester to Macclesfield station. Choose your rural retreat from the self-catering cottages and farmhouse B&Bs below and then book your train. Your host will collect you from Macclesfield station and within ten minutes you'll be in the heart of the Cheshire Peak District. Walks to suit all levels and abilities begin from right outside your front door, and maps or directions are all provided. Breathtaking views, lovely country pubs, delicious local produce and the local pub are all just a walk away!
Return to work feeling refreshed, relaxed and ready for the next challenge!
