Wardlow village is in the Derbyshire Dales two miles from Tideswell and its Cathedral of the Peak and is popular with holidaymakers who frequently choose barn accommodation in Wardlow for their Peak District break.

The small village contains the church of the Good Shepherd, and within the settlement is the small hamlet of Wardlow Mires where there is a pub popular with walkers and hikers. Wardlow is an extremely good example of a linear village, where the settlement has grown in a straight line following the sides of a road. The name Wardlow means ‘look-out hill’ and probably refers to Wardlow Hay Cop which is a conical shaped hill nearby and probably the remains of an extremely extinct volcano. The area around Wardlow is typical White Peak countryside with vast stretches of dry stone walls, criss-crossing this upland plain with distant views towards Eyam Edge. If you are looking for barn accommodation in Wardlow this is a good place to make a start.
