Summary: Great location for visiting the Derbyshire Dales, whether by foot or by car. Sheldon is a lovely quiet village and the local pub took care of our dinner plans a couple of nights! Julia, the owner, was great and a nice addition was the fresh farm meat products and eggs that were available every day. Would definitely stay there again
