Wildhive Callow Hall
Ashbourne, Derbyshire
A proper treehouse adventure without roughing it: two bedrooms up in the canopy, a hotel restaurant and thermal spa a short stroll away, and the dog's welcome too. Ashbourne is the gateway to Dovedale's stepping stones and the Tissington Trail, which make perfect bike rides with children.

Days out nearby
~9 miles · ~15 mins
Theme park · nearby attraction
Britain's biggest theme park pairs record-breaking coasters for brave teenagers with a whole CBeebies Land for preschoolers, plus a waterpark and gardens. Big enough to fill two days, which makes it a natural anchor for a weekend.
Gulliver's Kingdom Matlock Bath ↗
~13 miles · ~15 mins
Theme park · nearby attraction
A hillside theme park designed for younger children, with gentle rides, play zones and dinosaur-themed fun built into the slopes above the Derwent gorge. Small enough that little ones can manage it without meltdowns.
~14 miles · ~15 mins
Adventure park · nearby attraction
A cable car ride up the hillside to woodland walks, play areas, show caverns and big views over the Derwent valley. The cable car itself is the highlight for most children.
~15 miles · ~30 mins
Castle / historic · nearby attraction
A recreated period street where families ride vintage trams as often as they like, with a woodland walk, play areas and a sculpture trail. Unlimited rides make it a hit with transport-mad little ones.
Chatsworth Farmyard & Adventure Playground ↗
~20 miles · ~30 mins
Farm park · excellent toddler activity
Within the grounds of one of England's great houses, the farmyard lets children meet animals up close while a big woodland adventure playground with climbing frames and water play keeps them busy for hours.
~35 miles · ~45 mins
Zoo · ideal day trip
Famous for its apes, from gorillas to bonobos and orangutans, Twycross is a manageable size for little legs with indoor play and a woodland adventure playground. A relaxed zoo day without the scale of the giants.
~37 miles · ~45 mins
Theme park · ideal day trip
Home of Thomas Land, where small children ride with their favourite engines, alongside big coasters for older siblings and a zoo. It works brilliantly for mixed-age families who need one place to suit everyone.
~44 miles · ~45 mins
Science centre · rainy day option
Real rockets standing in a glass tower, a planetarium dome show and hands-on galleries about astronauts and the planets. It sparks big questions in school-age children and is a great rainy-day plan in the Midlands.
