Any time of year is the perfect time for a picturesque walk
around the Peak District, and there are few better places to do
this than at The Maynard in Grindleford. Located right in the heart
of walking country, The Maynard is now listed in the Golden Miles
book, designed to provide great local walking, eating and drinking
options, and in aid of Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice.
Created as a fundraising vehicle for Bluebell Wood Hospice, the
book serves as a handy guide for walkers, offering amazing walking
locations throughout the Peak District and travelling through 20
villages in Derbyshire. The Maynard is both supporting the hospice
directly through helping raise funds, and features in the book
itself. As well as the many walks which have been published by The
Maynard (see George's Walks on The Maynard's website), the Golden
Miles Guide offers just one more adventure for ramblers to enjoy
when staying or eating at The Maynard.
"The Maynard is in spectacular surroundings for those who love
walking, and we all wanted to do that little bit more for our
customers to help them make the most of their visit, especially
those visiting the Peak District for the first time," says Jane
Hitchman, director at the Maynard and sister site Whirlowbrook
Hall. "With such vast open countryside to explore, it can be
daunting for walkers as they may not know the best routes to take.
Being featured in the Golden Miles book not only shows our support
for local charities such as Bluebell Wood, but also illustrates
some of the many walks available to explore on our doorstep."
Following a major hotel and restaurant refurbishment, The
Maynard has been transformed, with a contemporary, but classic
interior complementing the Victorian building to perfection.
Walkers are assured of a warm welcome, from the experienced rambler
to the social walker. For those seeking to satisfy their hunger
after walking, all dishes at The Maynard are reasonably priced; so
eating at one of the few restaurants in the whole of South
Yorkshire and north Derbyshire with two AA rosettes has never been
so affordable - or enjoyable.
The Golden Miles book is available to purchase from The Maynard,
priced just £10.
