Tideswell Autumn 2007

 Fountain Square
Unfortunately, and in my personal opinion, the number of cars
that greets the visitor on the streets of Tideswell is
somewhat disappointing. I believe that it shows just why so
many of the buses that serve these villages, are on the whole
fairly empty, which is a terrible shame.  Fountain Square and Tideswell Methodist Church  War Memorial  Commercial Road A horse and its rider add a touch of what was once a common sight around Peak District villages long ago. The vehicles are a sign of our more modern affluent society, but like them or not, they are here to stay. Along this road, you will find the parish church standing alongside the George Inn, with a scattering of shops selling various wares to suit the local and visitor alike.

Church Approach
View From Alma Road
This view is so typical of many villages throughout the white peak, quaint houses and narrow lanes, all nestling between the hills that afford such places shelter during the winter time.
