Group Accommodation in Hayfield
Hayfield village is located in the valley of the River Sett between the towns of Glossop, New Mills and Chapel-en-le-Frith. Hayfield is said to lie at the foot of Kinder Scout and North east of the village is Kinder Reservoir. This controls the flow of the River Sett, thereby avoiding the risk of flooding that had previously been a serious problem within Hayfield village, and which necessitated raising the height of the main street (the original road level can still be seen outside the Bulls Head pub and the neighbouring fish and chip shop).
The village has a cricket field where Hayfield Cricket Club play. The ground is located next to the Royal Hotel, and was purchased by the club in 1976 after famous ex-resident Arthur Lowe of Dad’s Army fame, helped raise the necessary £5,000.
There are several natural springs located within Hayfield village, some of which once supplied part of the village's water supply. These are no longer in active use, although are 'dressed' yearly in Well Dressing ceremonies.
