Neighbourhood information

Valley Drive is a quiet tree lined road, far enough out of town to be tranquil but only ten minutes walk to the town centre. We also have a good variety of excellent local shops, bars and restaurants on Cold Bath Road, which runs parallel to Valley Drive. RHS Harlow Carr Gardens is a pretty 20 minute walk from our property through the Valley Gardens and Pinewoods.
