Known as the “Capital of the Peak,” Chapel-en-le-Frith is a historic market town nestled in the High Peak. Founded around a chapel built in 1225 by foresters of the Royal Forest of the Peak, the town blends medieval heritage with modern village life.
Visitors can explore the 13th century Church of St Thomas Becket, where Scottish soldiers were imprisoned during the Civil War, and stroll through the Market Place, complete with ancient stocks and a traditional cross.
It is also home to the picturesque stone cottages of Church Brow. This steep, cobbled street is described in a town brochure as “Chapel’s answer to Gold Hill in Dorset, famous for the Hovis ads.” The church bells ring out on Tuesday and Sunday, adding to the village’s quiet charm.
Nearby Eccles Pike, with its pink gritstone summit, offers breath-taking 360 degree views. Just seven miles away is the renowned spa town of Buxton, celebrated for its therapeutic spring water, Pavilion Gardens, and splendid Victorian Opera House, which hosts a variety of shows attracting visitors from around the globe.
A short drive will take you to numerous attractions, including the stately homes of Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall, and Lyme Hall. The Goyt Valley and Castleton are famous for their caverns, such as Blue John, Speedwell, and the Devil’s Arse.
Chinley is a quaint village on the western edge of the Peak District National Park, popular with walkers for its dramatic trails over Cracken Edge, linking to Chinley Churn, Mount Famine, South Head, and further to Kinder Scout, Edale, and the Pennine Way. The village offers a selection of pubs with award-winning ales, cafes, and restaurants.
The quiet village of Combs boasts a country pub known for its quality ingredients, making it the perfect spot for a meal after exploring Combs Moss and Castle Naze.
Hayfield, a delightful village on the north-western edge of the Peak District National Park, was the setting for the BBC’s period drama “The Village” and is popular with walkers due to its proximity to Kinder Scout. Serious hikers head east from the village to the Kinder Plateau, Pennine Way, and Snake Path, while families and those preferring gentler walks can enjoy the beautiful Set Valley Trail towards New Mills.
