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.
 |
| 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.

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.

has it's own railway station with frequent trains to Sheffield and

the village towards the hamlet of Aston.
