A new study has identified the top hidden gem holiday destinations across England, and Monyash – located five miles away from Bakewell – has been ranked among the country’s best staycation spots.
Schofields Insurance, a leading provider of holiday home insurance, conducted the study – using data including crime rates and a tourist attraction score.
As part of the research, Schofields Insurance also surveyed 1,000 adults aged over 18 in the UK to identify their top locations for holiday homes, which helped to uncover a number of villages and small towns that rarely appear in lists for the top holiday cottage destinations in England.
We decided to visit Monyash ourselves to see why it had ranked so highly – will you be making plans to visit Monyash in the future?

5. Close to popular attractions
Schofields added: “Just a short car journey away, you can access all the best the Peak District has to offer. This includes the Monsal Dale Headstone Viaduct and the Monsal Trail cycling route along the old railway line, as well as the iconic Chatsworth House and the spa town of Buxton. And of course, you’re just a stone’s throw from Bakewell’s famed tarts, puddings and pies!” Photo: Brian Eyre
