Set on the gentle hills of Peak District, this quaint Derbyshire village escapes the perfect countryside. For those who prefer an all-nighter city break, the village may be due to mistakes, but for outdoor adventurers who want to slow down on the weekends, Bealy is just a place.
Located on a real estate where pride and bias were filmed, its several miles of walking trails offer fantastic views, friendly locals and a cozy cafe. But what is a country escape without a cozy pub? This pub is the type of place to go with your parents on a gorgeous Sunday – it is well known among locals for serving quality food, but visitors can also stay in its countryside chic bedrooms.
The pub actually belongs to two chains owned by Chatsworth Estate, a business that is noticed throughout the region for its iconic blue paint, but it went under the same name from Devonshire Arms.
With Bealy's version being properly changed to Bealy Inn, you can be sure your sat-nav will take you to the right place, but if you end up at Pillsley Inn, you will be equally pleased.
Both offer traditional locally produced English foods, including butter pies and sticky toffee puddings. You can see that a considerable majority of that comes from Chatsworth Estate.
Follow your path to the farm shop to see the quality of your produce, including pale meat, local ales and creamy dairy products.
Just a few minutes' drive from the village is Chatsworth House, the “flagship” of the real estate where Bee Lee Inn is located.
This sandy country mansion features an acre of open land where deer and sheep roam freely, where scenes of pride and prejudice were deemed beautiful enough to be filmed.
When you drive, you may be lucky enough to see the fountain on display in its well-maintained gardens. The house is open to the public for a fee, and events are held almost all year round.
