JollyDays Supported Holidays - Blog

What an absolute delight our holiday was.  Our cosy log cabin was nestled right amongst the beautiful trees in Darwin Forest - the perfect base for the week.         Our first walk led us on winding paths through Darwin Forest.  We meandered through the valleys and we loved being amongst the greenery and wildlife!     We took a wonderfully scenic walk to the outskirts of Castleton, one of the most beautiful villages in the Peak District.  We visited the Peaks museum and went down to the Speedwell Caverns. Once we were at the bottom, we were treated to a boat ride through the old lead mining tunnels - amazing!       We had a wonderful day at the stunning Chatsworth House and had heaps of fun at the Alice in Wonderland exhibition!   We took delight in the Christmas market and ambled around the stalls looking at the goods on offer.   We all egged Steve on to dress up! ...

What fun!     We went up, up, up  in the lift to the top of the tower!  We braved the glass bottomed floor and looked riiiight down below us - what a long way down.....!           We sat and watched the dancers twirl around the beautiful dance floor, soaking up the music and wonderful atmosphere.  We had a thrill in the 3D cinema where we...
