The large village of Hathersage has long been a favourite of outdoor lovers. It's right in the heart of things as far as the Dark Peak goes. The iconic gritstone of Stanage Edge watches on to the north east, beloved of climbers and hikers alike. Other superb objectives within hiking distance of the village are the atmospheric Higger Tor and the ancient hill fort of Carl Wark.

The village itself is rich in ancient, industrial and literary history and has its fair share of folklore. Supposedly, the village churchyard is home to the grave of Little John of Robin Hood fame and the village has links with Charlotte Bronte and her classic novel Jane Eyre.

So, it's no surprise Hathersage is popular. There are plenty of amenities for walkers, including excellent pubs, cafes, restaurants and outdoor gear shops. Accommodation is also in good supply and it's only 18 minutes from Sheffield by train.
