VISITOR ATTRACTIONS

With Alton Towers just 12 miles or 20 minutes drive away and staying in Leek enables you to have the best of the park but still be surrounded by all our local amenities. It also enables a combination stay doing other things over the weekend. There is also Peak Wildlife Park which enables really close contact with animals. Cheddleton Flint Mill and Brindley Mill and Museum both give a picture of the past. Churnet Valley Steam Railway run lots of themed events and trains run regularly around the area.
