Whatstandwell is a hillside village set in rolling countryside beside the River Derwent. The village has a rail station with regular direct trains to Derby, Nottingham (and on to Lincoln and Cleethorpes on the coast!) and Matlock and the A6 offers commuters a similar route by car and bus, with direct buses to Derby, Bakewell and Buxton. There are great walks aplenty in all directions and refreshment stop-offs at the nearby Family Tree, as well as lots of pubs and cafes in the nearby villages and towns of Crich, Matlock and Cromford. The High Peak Trail, Cromford Canal and Matlock Bath are all within a 5 minute drive, with the market towns of Matlock, Bakewell, Belper and Ashbourne all within easy reach.
