For couples who enjoy outdoor activities, Carsington Water provides opportunities for sailing, kayaking, cycling and fly fishing, all set against a peaceful lakeside backdrop.

If you’re in the mood for a little excitement, Alton Towers Resort is also within easy reach—perfect for adding a dose of fun to your countryside break.
