The attractive village of Wetton stands amidst rolling hills, rocky outrcops, undulating valleys and farmland above the glorious Manifold Valley. The walking from your doorstep offers amazing variety; either steady strolls along the disused route of the former Leek and Manifold Light Railway or more strenuous hikes taking in some of the surrounding hidden valleys, woods, hills and limestone tors. The most famous sight, a short walk from the village heart, is the impressive Thor’s Cave; high up on the hillside, it towers above the valley and its 60 ft high entrance lures you in to explore. Below is Wetton Mill, a former corn mill now owned by the National Trust - the tea rooms here is a lovely spot to stop and enjoy the scenery beside the River Manifold.
Wetton is located approximately half-way between Butterton and Alstonefield, each being around two-and-a-half miles away, and there are lovely walks leading to them both; once there you will discover excellent watering holes, for in Butterton there is The Black Lion, and in Alstonefield, The George. Hartington and Dovedale are both 5 miles away and Ashbourne 10 miles drive.

The following comments are taken straight from the guestbook we keep for Redhurst Barn. Verbatim.
Beds v comfortable and kitchen v well equipped. Having downstairs rooms was useful
We had a great time with our family. Everything was beyond our expectations. Would definitely recommend to anyone.
This was the PERFECT venue to celebrate my parents 70th birthdays with my sisters and lots of grandkids. The house is huge and immaculate. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need. Bbq outside was great (in the rain!) you just need to bring charcoal and matches. The location is perfect for local walks, it’s 15-20 mins to Thors cave. We didn’t make it to the pub but it looked great. Highly recommend booking and peak venues who were responsive throughout.
We had a lovely stay & we were very comfortable.
Very close to the Thor's cave walk so ideal if wanting to include that in your weekend. beautiful home - lovely kitchen and cosy living room. all rooms come with ensuites which is very handy also. plenty of parking
From start to finish we had excellent service. When we arrived it exceeded our expectations. The accommodation was absolutely fantastic. We would recommend staying 100% Thank you
A great venue to host family gatherings. Every room has an en suite which is just perfect when you have so many families staying together. The kitchen is well stocked with all the equipment you need and has a great breakfast bar to chat while’s preparing food. The location is perfect to walk/cycle around the local areas.
Thank you again for a great Easter stay we loved Redhurst Barn
Redhurst Barn is a beautiful property with absolutely everything you need for a getaway with a large party - there are really thoughtful touches like two dishwashers, two kettles, two ovens and plenty of crockery and glasses. All rooms are gorgeous and well laid out and all being en-suite is a great bonus too. However we had someone with limited mobility in our party and while there are ground floor bedrooms, there are steps up and down to certain rooms which we did not realise, and the steps from the dining room to the lounge are quite steep (although the hosts provided a booster step for us to use while there). Some of the sofas are also pretty low, making them difficult for older people to get up from. The hosts are also extremely responsive and helpful - we had some issues with the heating but they immediately responded to help us out, and provided additional heaters that we were very appreciative of. We would love to return in the summertime to enjoy the outdoor areas too.
We were a party of six couples plus dog and spent an enjoyable and comfortable weekend in Wetton. There are walks straight from the house, the immediate neighbourhood is quiet and picturesque.
We had a wonderful relaxing weekend at Redhurst Barn. A beautiful peaceful location and gorgeous house. It was extremely comfortable - gorgeous en suite bedrooms and all beautifully maintained. We would definitely return!
What a wonderful stay at Redhurst Barn, could not recommend more- we will definitely be back! Plenty of kitchen equipment to accommodate 16 of us, very clean and looks even better than the photos when you arrive.
Lovely property in a very good location for walking.
A great house for a large group. Beautiful walking from the house or a short drive away.
Lovely barn, very clean.
Even my band of demanding pensioners would find it difficult to complain about anything.
The most perfect venue for my mum’s 60th! Highly recommend Thank you so much! A wonderful venue for a group stay”
A lovely place to stay. Handy for the pub too and lots of walks around the area. We really enjoyed it in perfect location
Stunning property, with excellent facilities for large groups. Especially loved the huge dining table. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, plates glasses etc, and the eight en-suites were all spotless. The house is well located to explore the area, with plenty of storage space for bikes etc. Overall, I would highly recommend this property - you won’t be disappointed!
This property was amazing, professional service, were everything is organized and shown in a booklet that you received before you arrived so no need to keep asking about stuff during your vacation!

The trail runs from Hulme End all the way down to Waterhouses (home to the Manifold Cycle centre where you can hire bikes) through some spectacular Peak District scenery. The route passes Beeston Tor, Wetton Mill (with its quaint tearooms) and the wonderful Thor's Cave which is well worth exploring. Inside you will find fascinating rock formations and mineral colours with wonderful views over the Manifold Valley.

No visit to the Peak District would be complete without visiting the fabulous Chatsworth House. At Chatsworth there is something to do for every member of the family. The Farmyard and Adventure playground is a brilliant day out for children of all ages - with animal handling, milking demonstrations and daily activities, plus a woodland adventure playground with slides, trampolines and more! Then there is obviously the House itself, steeped with history it’s one of Britain’s greatest stately homes and has been passed down through 16 generations of the Cavendish family. The Gardens are equally as impressive as the house, over 100 acres and as well and the beautiful flowers and plants, there are giant water features and sculptures dotted around. Again, suitable for all the family, with the maze, the garden trails, and the famous water cascade to keep the little ones occupied.
