Nestled within the picturesque landscapes of South Derbyshire and the western fringes of the Peak District, this region offers an idyllic setting for the quintessential British afternoon tea experience. Rolling hills and charming market towns provide a lovely backdrop for those indulging in one of the nation's most beloved traditions. In the heart of this area, the market town of Ashbourne is a delightful destination, where you can find several tea rooms that offer delicate finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones with clotted cream, and an assortment of fine teas. One notable venue is the Lavender Tea Rooms in the small village of Tissington, just a short drive from Ashbourne. Housed in a Georgian building, this quaint establishment lends a touch of vintage charm, creating the perfect atmosphere for a relaxed afternoon tea. Moving further afield to the west, closer to the border with Staffordshire, you'll find Buxton, a spa town famed for its mineral springs and elegant Victorian architecture. The town's Old Hall Hotel, reputed to be one of the oldest in England, serves a delightful spread featuring homemade cakes, freshly brewed tea, and of course, their signature scones. It's a pleasant retreat after exploring the nearby countryside or visiting the iconic Buxton Opera House. In both South and West Derbyshire, whether you're nestled in a cosy tearoom or perched in a luxurious hotel lounge, the afternoon tea offerings are infused with the character and charm of the surrounding English rural beauty.
