If you’re planning a day trip from Greater Manchester then the Peak District is a great place to start. It has more than its fair share of stunning villages so you’re spoilt for choice.
Lying east of Hope Valley is the bustling village of Hathersage. With its own train station and just less than an hour's journey from Manchester, Hathersage is easy to get to if you don’t have a car or prefer enjoying the views as a passenger.
The village is surrounded by beautiful wooded hillsides and is a great starting point for several walks in the area. To the south flows the River Derwent, which you can follow down to Grindleford for a six mile circular walk.
