Little Hucklow, The Peak District, DerbyshireAbout Little Hucklow

Little Hucklow is a small, crescent shaped, limestone village nestled into the hillside at the centre of the peak district.  In the centre of the village is a small, and now privately owned, Methodist Sunday School which was built in 1854 by public subscription.

The village is surrounded by rich green pasture, dramatic landscape, quaint little cottages and pockets of ancient meadowland where in spring there are wonderful displays of wild flowers. From the top of Little Hucklow village you can just make out the ‘pimple’ summit of Win Hill in the distance.

Little Hucklow is surrounded by a network of narrow lanes and roads. Hungry Lane and Jeffrey Lane toward Bradwell date from medieval times, but it is thought that the main B6040 could originally have been Roman and a route to Navio, the Roman fort at Brough.

There is a bus stop at the junction of the village lane and the B6049 from which buses run to Castleton and Bakewell.  Alternatively buses run from Great Hucklow to Buxton, Chesterfield and Sheffield (including Meadowhall).
