Great Hucklow is a small and quiet Peak District village of about 30 houses about 8 miles north of Bakewell. Located in the centre of the Derbyshire Peak District with the 'White Peak' to the south and 'Dark Peak' to the north, so you enjoy the very best of the scenery. Your hosts Margaret and Angus Stokes have lived here for 34 years, with no desire to move.
