Neighbourhood highlights

Hathersage is a wonderful village, with great facilities with all you will need for your stay. There are a number of nice places to eat in the village, all within a 5-10 minute stroll from Rokeby Cottage. Cafes, pubs, Indian restaurants, fish and chips and village bakery are available as well as the famous Hathersage Outdoor Swimming Pool (heated and open all year). There is also a great village shop/post office (open until 10pm everyday), bakery, pharmacy and a handful of excellent outdoor shops.

Many visitors come to Hathersage to visit the churchyard and the grave of “Little John”. Whether or not the large grave beneath the yew trees in the south-west of the churchyard is that of Robin Hood's lieutenant will probably always be open to debate.

Well known landmarks are also in easy walking distance/travel from the cottage. Stanage Edge is walkable from the front door (30 minute walk). The start of the famous walking track The Pennine Way is in the village of Edale (4 miles away) and the stately homes of Chatsworth and Haddon Hall are both a 15 minute drive from the cottage.

Charlotte Bronte visited Hathersage in 1845 to stay with a friend; she was inspired by the area and wrote Jane Eyre soon afterwards. During her stay Charlotte visited North Lees Hall, which was to be the inspiration for Thornfield Hall, home of Edward Rochester, in the novel Jane Eyre.

There are many picturesque walks from the front door and footpaths lead you to neighbouring villages, a great way of exploring the local area.
