The ruins of Tutbury Castle lie 6 miles from the hotel. Mary, Queen of Scots, was a prisoner here, and kids can have a meet-and-greet with an actor portraying the doomed queen. The castle is said to be haunted, and the daring can join paranormal adventure tours. If ghost-hunting isn't on your agenda, opt for a ride in a horse-drawn carriage, or nibble on scones and sandwiches at high tea.
