Group Accommodation in Winster
Winster is one of the oldest and most picturesque villages in the Peak and was once the centre of the local lead mining industry. In the 18th century this was a thriving and prosperous centre and acquired some fine buildings which attest to this short period of importance. Chief of these are Winster Hall, which stands half-way along the main street, and the Dower House, which is in front of the church. The most conspicuous landmark is the old Market Hall, which stands in the centre of the main street and was constructed in the 16th and 17th centuries. It is a unique building and was the first property in this area to be acquired by the National Trust. The village is quite unique with its former miners’ cottages clinging to the slope of the north side of the hill. There are shops and a pub called the Bowling Green, which bears the date 1473 though the present building is much newer. This is a great place from which to explore the Peak District from the great Group Accommodation on offer.
