BaslowBaslow is a small village situated in the stunning and majestic Peak District of Derbyshire. Baslow is situated very close to both Sheffield and Bakewell making it a popular destination year round with tourists and visitors from the UK and abroad. Baslow sits neatly on the River Derwent and is home to Chatsworth House, one of the areas most famous tourist attractions. Baslow is unique in that it is really a village made up of three component parts, this is because as new areas were constructed at various times throughout the villages history they retained much of their original charachter and charm. Bridge End is considered to be the "original" settled location in the village, this small collection of houses grew up around the church and river that make up the oldest buildings in Baslow. Whilst the oldest part of the current church dates back to roughly 1200 the Saxon coffin lid displayed in the entrance hallway demonstrates how Baslow will have been settled for many hundreds of years prior to this. 19th century restoration took place and the church is not very original in many parts, however it still stands proud as a majestic monument that has been worshipped in for thousands of years. The old bridge that runs across the Derwent in Baslow was constructed in 1603 and holds the accolade of being the oldest bridge to never have been washed away by floods on the river. Nether End is the name given to the eastern reaches of Baslow, it is here that many tourists visit on their way through to Chatsworth as there is an entrance to the park and estate in Nether End. This section of Baslow is packed full of charming hotels, pubs and restaurants that cater for both tourist and local alike, and you will not find a warmer welcome anywhere than in Nether End in Baslow. There is even a caravan site for those who prefer to self cater when on holiday, and the foot entrance to Chatsworth allows people to enjoy the park and estate and their leisure when staying in Baslow. The final section of Baslow is known as Over End and it is largely made up of housing. Over End is situated north of the village of Baslow itself on a large expanse of hillside, and it is also the home of Baslow Hall, a place where many famous figures from throughout history have stayed. A historic hydropathic hotel also used to exist in Over End but this was closed down in 1936. There are a number of places very close to Baslow itself that offer a large amount of activities for tourists from rock climbing to hill walking. Froggatt Edge is popular with those seeking to enjoy the majestic grandeur of the Derwent Valley scenery, and Baslow Edge is a famous spot due to a number of local folklore legends that have grown up regarding the site. |
