Owned by one family, this is one of the most unusual villages in England
Pretty stone cottages, a tranquil mill pond and an historic hall at its heart. Strolling into the village of Tissington is like taking a step back in time.
There are also now seven holiday lets within the village that tourists can book out to make a holiday of it in this picturesque part of the Peaks. "There are no yellow lines but perhaps there should be! We had to paint some lines ourselves because people were driving so fast through the village. Technically it's a 60mph, but we put our own signs up to say "please drive slowly" at two ends of the village. There's no street lights here, so you have to have a decent torch.
He says: "The village tearooms is thriving at the moment, and we've got plenty of weddings but can also do more. We first got a licence in 2003 and started with small weddings but that has morphed into a semi-permanent marquee that we can use in the grounds through the summer which seats up to 140." There is still a candlemaker in the village, but the once-popular sweet shop and butchers both closed last year. Sir Richard hopes to bring new businesses to the area in time to come.
"We have the busiest weekend of our year over August Bank Holiday so we'll have to open up a field as a car park and we'll all be there to try and manage it for everyone."
