Baslow - Peak District Villages

http://www.peakdistrictonline.co.uk presents Baslow. Baslow is a picturesque place of many parts and whilst the main complaint of some residents is that the constant procession of traffic through their pretty village is endless, Baslow certainly isn't - for amongst its many parts you will find Over End, Nether End, Bridge End, West End, Far End - and no end of interest!




The location of the village makes it ideally situated as a centre for visitors to the Peak District for it stands where the limestone country of the `White Peak' meets the millstone grit of the `Dark Peak' in the heart of the Peak National Park,, and with excellent access from all directions. The A619 Chesterfield to Bakewell road provides excellent access from the South and East and the A623 runs into Baslow from Chapel-en-le-Frith in the west.




The A621 brings regular visitors to Baslow and the Peak Park over the hills from Sheffield in the north, and on warm summer weekends Goose Green, at Nether End, is thronged - and sometimes choked - by an influx of traffic and tourists who come to taste the many delights and attractions that Baslow, and its near neighbour Chatsworth have to offer.



There has been a settlement here on the east bank of the Derwent since Anglo-Saxon times. The oldest part of the village surrounds the church which stands close to the riverbank at Bridge End - so named for the magnificent triple-arched bridge of 1603 which carries the old road across the river to West End and the quaint little hamlet of Bubnell with it's three-storied 17th century Hall on the other side.

your correct it is a shame , but we did the video out of the love for the area , not money , and whilst we agree it was an oversight it was our company that got off their backsides to actually try promote the village , i wonder how many others have done the same?

Only 2 miles from chatsworth house and 3 or 4 miles from Bakewell - a perfect place to stay on your holidays in the peak district

We have stayed and eaten in Baslow plenty of times, good food and accommodation to be found here and close to Sheffield, which is handy.
