Spotlight on Stoney Middleton
Looking for a quirky local village with a few surprising famous fans?
In desperate need of a great Fish and Chips after a weekend walk?
Or, perhaps just want to marvel at the stunning landscape that includes a high cliff with a local legend and a curry house in a cave!
Then you need to visit Stoney Middleton.
Stoney Middleton can boast one of the UK's very few Grade II listed fish and chip shops. Toll Bar Fish and Chips is based on the village's main road and has been serving up fried treats since 1926.
And, for those of you looking for even more history, there is an excellent trail path from the village all the way up the hill and across to Eyam. This is one of Derbyshire's most famous villages, for its tragic past as the "Plague Village" where 206 residents fell victim to the bubonic plague in 1665.
There are signs throughout the village commemorating the dead, as well as a visitor centre marking the terrible moment in the village's history.
So, don’t forget to make a stop as Stoney Middletone during your stay in the Peak District!
