The Village of Hope in Derbyshire and self-catering cottage accommodation

Hope is one of a string of  villages in the Hope and Edale valleys.  It's about a mile and a half from Castleton and although of a similar size, seems much smaller.   Walkers from Lose Hill or Win Hill  stop for a rest and snack as they pass through at the very pleasant tea shop with an open fire, which can be found on the main road.  It serves good honest food, hearty soups and generous portions.  It's a good place to rest and dry any damp socks beside the roaring fire.

There are numerous possibilites for walks in Hope Valley and plenty of self catering cottages in the Peak District to rent for holidays and weekend breaks.

The Church dates back to the 14th Century.  It has an original Norman font.

The main road is dominated by the church, parts of which date back to the 14th Century.  It has a steeple which is unusual for churches in these parts, and a castellated roof. The stones in the graveyard make interesting reading; there are Celtic symbols, the remains of a Saxon Cross, and some very old graves.  Inside the church is a Norman font and gargoyles.

Fine Art Gallery in Hope.  Walkers are welcome.  Teas are served nearby.

There are several essential local shops including an excellent greengrocers, quality butchers, a delicatessen with tempting produce, a couple of pubs, and a Post Office.  The quality and range of fresh produce is better in Hope than in Nearby Castleton.  A Fine Art Gallery for some cultural browsing is tucked away by the greengrocers.  It's also possible to arrange bicycle hire in the building next door.  Motorists may wish to note that there is a garage and a car park with public toilets.

Local fruit and veg shop offers an impressive range of quality produce.

Hope has it's own railway station with frequent trains to Sheffield and Manchester.  It can be found just over half a mile east of the village towards the hamlet of Aston.
