The farm is situated close to the villages of Ilam and Alstonefield both of which offer good local amenities with in particular 'The George' public house and farm shop in Alstonefield. More extensive amenities are to be found a short drive away at the market towns of Ashbourne, Bakewell or Leek with their selection of shops, restaurants and recreational facilities.
