Village Pond

The old village pond, where the visitor may rest a while, choosing to sit on one of the many seats that surround its waters and admire some of Hartington's architecture.

Here there is a mixture of fine buildings composed of either pale limestone, or the much warmer hues of gritstone. As with many Derbyshire towns and villages, Hartington celebrates their wakes with Wells Dressing on the village green. This usually occurs on the second Saturday in September.

Beresford Tea Room

The village offers a touch of community spirit here with the small, but attractive, Beresford Tea Rooms and Post Office.

The architecture of this building displays the use of limestone for its main walls, while gritstone has been utilized to give the corners some additional strength and local character.

Street View

Hartington Hillside

In this image you can see the road that climbs away to go towards the tiny hamlet of Heathcote. It is close by, that the visitor is given the opportunity to gain entry to another of Derbyshire's beautiful dales, Biggin Dale, a part of which is cared for by the National Trust.

Not far along this road, the visitor will eventually reach one of the architectural gems of Hartington, now the Youth Hostel.
