Aldwark

Close to the High Peak Trail, just inside the Peak Park boundary, Aldwark is one of the most unspoilt villages in Derbyshire. A quiet and tranquil backwater, its name comes from the Saxon for ‘Old Fort’, meaning that even then it was considered an ancient settlement. The highest recorded population was 97 in 1831, though at this time it was one of the staging posts on the coaching route between Derby and Buxton. A chambered tomb dating from 2000 BC was discovered at Green Low, just to the north of the village, which contained pottery, flints and animal bones.
