Chelmorton is the highest village in Derbyshire, standing proud at 1,200 feet (366 m). It is a quintessential White Peak settlement, full of the olde worlde charm of its classic limestone walls and beautiful surroundings.

It’s a marvellous base for exploring the Peak District. Various trails radiate out from the village and it’s not too far to walk to some of the Middle Earth-esque scenery the White Peak is famous for. There’s traditional, tasty pub food at the Church Inn.
