Caravan & Camping around
Hathersage - accommodation in the Peak District
The gritstone built
town of Hathersage sits in a sheltered valley, beneath
the panoramic view known as " surprise view " - embracing
the Derwent, Mam Tor, Kinder Scout and the
Hope Valley. Here at Millstone Edge, the discarded millstones
litter the landscape, the surplus of a long - gone industry. The
town itself began manufacturing knitting needles in the 16C and
also produced umbrella frames. Today it is better known for its
literary connections with Charlotte Bronte, and with Robin
Hood's companion, Little John. The latter is said to
have been born in Hathersage, working as a nail - maker
before becoming an outlaw in Sherwood Forest. A grave about
11' long in the parish churchyard is reputed to be his, and can
be found on the southern boundary of the churchyard.
