Fly Fishing Is A Popular Angling Sport in the UK

The term ‘fly-fishing’ is used to describe a method of angling in which fish are caught through the use of an artificial ‘fly’ which is cast using a fly rod, reel and a specialized weighted line. The ‘flies’ that are used for this activity are often tied by fishermen themselves to resemble food organisms or other natural invertebrates. The techniques used in casting these flies and also ‘lures’ (objects attached to the end of fishing lines which are designed to resemble and move like the prey of certain fish) are significantly different from those used in other forms of fishing and casting. The techniques used in fly fishing can also greatly vary according to the terrain in which it is being practised, with the approach used in large rivers being considerably different to that used in small streams.

 Fly fishing can be practised in both salt and fresh water. In Britain, for example, a clear distinction is made between ‘game-fishing’ for species such as trout and salmon and ‘coarse fishing’ in which the target species include carp, bream and chub. The practise of fly fishing has been occurring for several hundred years, as shown by the publication of ‘The Treatyse on Fysshynge with an Angle’ as long ago as 1496.

 Unlike many other methods of casting, fly fishing is often viewed as a means of casting a line rather than a lure as the fly on the end of the line is far too light to be cast and as a result it simply follows the unfurling of a properly cast fly line whereas in other non-fly types of fishing, the weight of the lure is utilised to pull line from the reel after being cast. The types of cast being used in fly fishing depend almost entirely on the conditions. The most common cast used in fly fishing is the ‘forward cast’.

 The ‘Forward Cast’ involves the angler whisking the fly into the air and over his shoulder until the line is almost straight and then cast forward, primarily through the use of the forearm. The aim of this technique is to “load” (bend) the rod tip with stored energy and then transmit this energy to the line itself. This is intended to result in the fly line (as well as the fly itself) being cast for an appreciable distance in contrast to the short distance resulting from just bending the rod back and releasing it.

Meals are offered to suit most dietary requirements including vegetarians and celiacs - with a list of ingredients provided in the back of the menu to assist those with special diets.
The Stables Restaurant, buy the best ingredients, keep things simple, cook things to perfection ... this is the philosophy at The Stables Restaurant at Rivendale.
All our meat is sourced from an excellent local butcher who buys the best meat - most of it local, much of it organic, hangs it for a lengthy period to allow the flavour to develop, and does not inject it with water etc.
Our menu has a seasonal variation with a daily special board influenced by the availability of local produce such as fish and game. As well as hearty stews and delicious pies, we offer roasts, curries, homemade soups, buffets, roasts and canapés to suit all occasions.
Menu and Wine List
With a well-equipped commercial kitchen, professional chef on site and wealth of excellent local meat and produce to hand, we can provide delicious snacks and meals to suit most tastes and budgets – from a bacon sandwich to a superb fillet steak.
We have considerable experience of catering for weddings, parties and business conferences over the years which have demanded both elaborate buffets and simple roast dinners and so can offer suggestions to suit most requirements. However, our guiding philosophy is to source the best local ingredients, keep it simple, cook it well.
Our standard wine list is deliberately brief but offers exceptional value for money. We do however work directly with a wine merchant (rather than through a brewery) who can source a wide range of vintages on a sale or return basis to suit your requirements.

Walks in the Peak District

Walks in the Peak District – Cycle Ways in the Peak District, White Peak, Dove Dale, Tissington, Hartington & Manifold Valleys.

Our Bed and Breakfast in the Peak District offers walkers two distinct types of scenery and wildlife – which surprisingly follows from the underlying type of rock.

The Dark Peak is defined by the darker gritstone – from which the National Park’s gritstone mill wheel logo is derived. The gritstone is acidic and allows heathers, bilberries and other acid-loving plants to thrive – along with the insects and animals that feed on them.

By contrast, the White Peak around Dove Dale is a whiteish grey limestone which is alkaline and soluble – giving rise to spectacular caves, pinnacles, gorges and underground water courses.

The following walks start and finish where the Tissington Trail crosses the turn off from the A515 towards Biggin. This is the ideal location to access Eaton, Biggin, Alsop, Wolfscote, Beresford and Mill Dales, the Tissington Trail and, via the footpaths in them, Dove Dale and The High Peak Trail. Parking is possible at Rivendale Caravan Park (the £2 all-day parking charge is totally redeemable in their café – notify reception and get a receipt). Alternatively, but less secure, you can use the lay-by a few hundred metres south of Rivendale on the A515 at your own risk.

Eco Spa

 

Peak District Spa offers a Scandinavian Spa experience which takes our guests “back to nature” and is sustainable environmentally.

Re-connecting with nature means relaxing in a wooden tub full of hot water enjoying the view over Alsop Dale during the day – or better still under a star-lit night sky made all the better for the absence of light pollution – listening to the sounds of a hunting Tawny Owl. Or maybe it’s the kids having fun.

Children 4 years and above may enjoy using the hot tub – always supervised by an adult.
Whilst all Spas consume a lot of energy, our hot tub is fuelled by thinning and waste wood from our parkland which would otherwise be shredded & composted. A wood-fired steam room/sauna will shortly be available when we have found one that satisfies our criteria for safety, size and economy.

Please enquire at reception for costs and availability.

Future Developments
Peak District Spa has a detailed consent for a more conventional indoor Spa complex with swimming pool, indoor hot spa, gym, treatments room, sauna & steam room – continuing the long-established traditions of the spa towns in the area – such as Matlock and Buxton.

B&B Peak District

Peak District Spa and  Rivendale are participating in the Electric Bicycle network within the Peak District and took delivery of their first electric bikes before the Easter bank holiday weekend.

The Electric Bicycle Network is a cluster of locations from which electric bikes can be hired and/or their batteries re-charged. The long term aim is to create a nationwide network from which electric bikes can be hired, however the Peak District was selected as the launch area because of its extensive network of cycle ways, beautiful scenery and variety of accommodation, cafes and pubs adjoining the cycle routes.

Situated just 100 metres from the Tissington Trail a few miles south of its junction with the High Peak Trail, Peak District Spa is an ideal location for electric bike hire and battery re-charging as clients can re-charge their own batteries in the cafe over lunch whilst the bike batteries are being re-charged at the charge point.

The electric bikes provide virtually noise-freepower assistance to the pedaling effort of the user, the effect being to make the rider feel like superman when it is in sport mode, an Olympic athlete in normal mode and merely very fit in economy mode. The assistance is provided up to 15 miles per hour with a range of up to 20 miles subject to the terrain, the mode of assistance selected and the sensible use of the bikes 7 gears. However, even when the battery is exhausted, the electric bike functions as a normal 7 gear bicycle which is hardly disastrous on the even gradients and hard limestone surface of the former railway lines which are the High Peak & Tissington Trails.

The Tissington Trail also links to the trail surrounding Carsington reservoir via the Trails Triangle – and thence back to Peak District Spa via the High Peak and Tissington Trails providing a superb triangular route with panoramic views over the Peak District, an enjoyable tour around Carsington Reservoir with a plethora of cafes and pubs along the way.

The bikes are extremely easy to use and cost just £25 for an 8 hour day hire or £15 for a 4 hour half day hire. All in all,  ideal for people who want an easy cycling tour of some of  the Peak District’s spectacular scenery without lung-busting effort!
