Accommodation

YHA Ilam Hall

This Victorian gothic mansion sits in 84 acres of National Trust parkland, with the beauty of Dovedale just on its doorstep. The beautiful youth hostel is full of character and nestled near the quaint village of Ilam.

A 25-minute walk from Ilam Park, the Dovedale Stepping Stones have remained a huge draw for Peak District day-trippers since they were laid in the mid-19th century. You'll also encounter some of England’s most extraordinary limestone gorge scenery. For a different thrill, the hostel is just 15 minutes from Alton Towers. Nearby Carsington Water is great for having a go at a range of water sport activities or learning all about the water cycle.

What better way to spend an evening than with some bowling? There's a reason it's a classic.
