Grindleford is a picturesque village of sylvan beauty. Straggling up from beside the river, the houses seem to get more exclusive the higher they get – this is a select residential area where mansions and large villas nestle amongst the trees on the edge of the moors and at the entrance to the glorious Hope Valley

In the 19th century, Grindleford comprised of a cluster of cottages near a bridge over the river and a junction of turnpike roads heading across the moors to Sheffield, down the valley to Calver or upstream to Hathersage. Then the railway broke through and opened up the Hope Valley to tourists and commuters. At 3 miles and 950 yards in length, the Totley tunnel is the second longest inland railway tunnel in Britain. Visitors could now flock to the valley by rail and stay in boarding houses, camping sites or local inns. Times have changed, with many tourists now preferring to stay in a ‘home from home’ – a pretty little holiday cottage in Grindleford.

Your stay at one of the holiday cottages in Grindleford will provide you with an open door and the freedom to roam up onto the Longshaw Estate and the glacially formed ‘Edges’ which run down the eastern flank of the Peak District like a roughly hewn spine and then across high moors with Access rights.

With the cultural metropolis of Sheffield and the retail paradise of Meadowhall an hour or so drive away, yet the wonders of the Peak District on your doorstep, a holiday cottage in Grindleford could not offer more.

Should your stay at a holiday cottage in Grindleford be arranged for July, you may also wish to take part in the annual Pilgrimage to the Padley Martyrs – in 1588 Nicholas Garlick and Robert Ludlam who were Catholic priests operating secretly in an upstairs chapel in the gatehouse of nearby Padley Hall were captured then taken to Derby where they were hung, drawn and quartered – a grisly tale, but not to be forgotten.
