Tissington has been owned by the same family for the last 500 years and has hardly changed in that time

Pretty stone cottages, a tranquil mill pond and an historic hall at its heart. Strolling into the village of Tissington is like taking a step back in time. With no street lights or road markings, indeed there are barely any modern developments at all here. It makes it an idyllic spot in the midst of the Peak District National Park, and a honeypot village for visitors come the summer months.

' Over the bank holiday weekend, thousands of visitors are expected to head to the village to walk through some of the prettiest gardens in the cottages as part of the National Garden Scheme Open Gardens day. There will also be a craft fair in the village hall with a host of local crafters showing off their wares. There will even be balloon rides taking place. There is still a candlemaker in the village, but the once-popular sweet shop and butchers both closed last year.
