The pretty Peak District village an hour from Manchester with a cosy old pub, Roman ruins and stunning walks
When it comes to days out from Greater Manchester, the Peak District can be hard to beat. Located right on our doorstep, it's a place where you'll find breath taking moorland walks, stunning waterfalls and picturesque villages.
Hope lies one and a half miles east of Castleton, at the point where Peakshole Water flows into the River Noe in the heart of the Hope Valley. The village is overlooked by Lose Hill and Win Hill to the north, while to the south stands the Breedon Hope Cement Works, which can be seen from miles around - and you may even recognise it from Channel 4's ident.
One noticeable feature of Hope is the interesting spire of the village church. Dating from the 14th century, St Peter’s Church has a short broached spire, giving the church a stumpy appearance. On the south side of the church are some impressive carvings of gargoyles, while in the grounds are two ancient stone crosses, one of which is Anglo-Saxon and stands at seven feet high.
Guests would pay for their lodgings in cheese and you can still see the original cheese hooks inside the pib today. Step inside and you’ll find plenty of character and historical features, with open fires and an oldie-worldie atmosphere. The pub has an extensive menu, with plenty of traditional dishes available along with extensive vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options.
