Hathersage
An interesting Peak District village,
Hathersage is an ideal starting point for
walks or a base from which to explore the
local area. It boasts a host of hotels, pubs,
cafes, B&B’s, self catering accommodation,
restaurants, gift shops, banks and local shops
including many focusing on the outdoors
and is well served by public transport.
The local history and folklore provides
Hathersage with much for the visitor to
explore and enjoy. Many points of interest
are highlighted on the map to provide a self
guide route for visitors to enjoy the area.
Hathersage was initially an agricultural
village, in 1750 a wire making mill opened
with other mills following. Hathersage
became famous for the manufacture of
wire, needles and pins. These industries
closed in the 1900’s and the mills today
have different uses.
Today, Hathersage is popular with both
walkers and rock-climbers. To the east the
village is overlooked by moorland and a line
of gritstone edges, of which Stanage Edge is
the largest. There are also spectacular tors,
such as Higgar Tor, and the enigmatic hillfort
at Carl Wark.
