Owned by Terry and Sue Prince this dairy farm, situated at the foot of the Peak District National Park, has been organic since 2000. In addition to its herd of cows Beechenhill has holiday accommodation should visitors want to extend their enjoyment of panoramic views over the Manifold Valley, perhaps by walking the farm trail or by a moonlit stint in the Swedish hot tub!
