Cronkshaw Fold Farm – Family Friendly
Self-Catering Accommodation & Family Activity Holidays
The cottage
Farming has taken place at Cronkshaw Fold since 1307. With exceptional views across the beautiful Alden Valley, there were originally 2 farms and 3 cottages at the farmstead. Now just the main farm-house remains and one recently renovated, family friendly, self-catering cottage has been developed.
Adjacent to the National Trust area of Holcombe Moor and the new West Pennine Bridleway the location is ideal for Walkers, Horse Riders and Mountain Bikers with many footpaths and bridleways close-by.
Renowned for environmental best practise, conservation and sustainable farming. Awarded the Silver Green Tourism Award in 2004.
