Alastair Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 There's nothing interesting in Grindleford, except maybe the cafe that used to be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave650 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 There's nothing interesting in Grindleford, except maybe the cafe that used to be good. *End of thread * As alastair said It's just countryside and a cafe that used to be good as far as I'm aware.

jomarch Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Padley chapel- just across the tracks from Grindleford station. It is very historic, once being the home of the Eyre family but also the place of hiding for several Catholic priests during the reformation (I think Nicholas Garlick and Robert Ludlum were arrested there) who were later executed for their faith.

hillsbro Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Here's a very nice half-day walk. From Grindleford station café, cross the railway and then go down by the mill and along the road. Turn left and re-cross the railway, then follow the path down to the wood beside the river. Follow the river to the Hathersage-Grindleford road and then into Hathersage for a pub lunch at the George or the Scotsman's Pack. Then walk back or get the train.
