"BECAUSE WHEN YOU STOP AND LOOK AROUND, THIS LIFE IS PRETTY AMAZING"
Dr Suess
Edale
Fieldhead is located in the centre of the picturesque village of Edale in the Peak District National Park. The Moorland Centre has lots of local information and gifts on offer, a great place to stop before you start your day.
​
Edale also has two welcoming pubs; The Old Nags Head and The Rambler Inn that both offer great food and drink, perfect as a reward after a long days walk.
​
There are also a two cafe's; Penny Pot Café and Newfold Farm Cafe, where you can get you a lovely coffee or a hot chocolate, and even a bite to eat to take on your adventure.
​
Forgotten that essential item, then Edale General Store is the place to go, just a short walk to the end of the village.
The perfect base for outdoor activities
