Group Accommodation in Earl Sterndale

Earl Sterndale is a pretty village, lying at 1,100 ft above sea level, surrounded by some of the most picturesque countryside in the Peak National Park.

St Michael’s Church, Earl Sterndale, has had a somewhat unusual life. In Norman days it was a chapelry of Hartington, but during the 18th century fell into disrepair. It was rebuilt in 1828, but disaster struck again in 1941, when it became the only church in Derbyshire to be struck by a German bomb. Ten years later the church was rebuilt and its Saxon font restored by an expert craftsman from London.

Earl Sterndale boasts a 400-year-old pub with the unusual name of The Quiet Woman and a sign showing a headless female with the words ‘Soft words turneth away wrath’. A former landlord is said to have been so exasperated by his wife that he cut her head off. There are pretty cottages, a school and the most glorious views over the hills.

Earl Sterndale is a great place to start your search for Peak District Group Accommodation.
