Neighbourhoods
Bradwell is a real hidden gem, most people tend to drive through here en route to the more famous villages of Castleton, Edale and Hope. However, take a stroll around the pretty streets that stretch out on both sides of the main road and you will find pretty cottage lined lanes. Follow Bradwell Brook through the village, head up past the White Hart Inn onto Hungry Lane or Jeffrey Lane and take in the views of Rebellion Knoll opposite. Or over the main road to Wortley Close and follow the public footpath signs up onto Rebellion Knoll itself, its a steep climb but at the top, you will be rewarded with stunning views of the village and the Hope Valley beyond. Head back down Bradwell Edge and back to the village for a pint in one of the friendly pubs, or pick up Fish and Chips on your way back to Hugh Cottage!
