About The Good Life List

We started The Good Life List because life's too short for disappointing meals, overrated attractions and average weekends. There are thousands of places to eat, stay and explore, but not all of them are worth your time. We spend ours finding the ones we'd recommend to our friends, then share them here.

Authenticity is of the utmost importance to us in a world that is becoming increasingly algorithm driven and AI generated. We want to champion good writing and are very much looking forward to expanding our team of talented journalists and creatives over the coming months and years.

 

We are dedicated to connecting our readers with the things that matter, shining a light on the people and places doing exceptional things and contributing in a positive way to our local communities.

 

About The Editor

Hi, I'm Jen Bell.

 

I'm a writer, communications professional and Peak District local who spends an unhealthy amount of time exploring village pubs, walking trails, cafés, hotels, family attractions and hidden corners of Derbyshire in the name of research.

After 14 years in New Zealand working across tourism, hospitality and destination marketing, I returned to Derbyshire and launched The Good Life List to celebrate the places, people and businesses that make this region such a brilliant place to live, visit and explore.

Whether you're planning a weekend away, looking for somewhere new to eat or wondering what life is really like in the Peak District, you'll find honest recommendations, local knowledge and plenty of ideas here.

You can contact us at hello@thegoodlifelist.co.uk for:
