A tranquil oasis in the heart of the Peak District National Park, Houghton Meadows is a picturesque valley surrounded by rolling hills, woodlands, and sparkling streams. The meadows are ablaze with wildflowers in the summer, creating a kaleidoscope of colours that attract a variety of wildlife, including butterflies, bees, and birds. The gentle rustle of the wind through the grasses and the soft babbling of the brook create a soothing atmosphere, perfect for relaxation and contemplation.
Quiet and relaxed walks around
Nice walks around there. People are very friendly and can have a nice chat with them. If you find a spot along the river you can have a very nice picnic. My daughter and I have been there many times. It's a manageable day out for children too.
Beautiful area, absolutely lovely to bike ride down in the sun. Some great paths for walking as well and taking in all of the nature and countryside. Great links up to st.Ives so you're not too far from civilisation. Highly recommended for family walks and bike rides if that's your thing.
Such a lovely path for a walk
Houghton meadows are a lovely place to walk around and enjoy the piece and quiet and ideal for dog walking aswell, would be nice if there was some benches to sit and relax.
Perfect for a pleasant walk. Don't forget to call into the cafe at Houghton Mill for a cup of tea and a scone.
