Elton

An observant visitor might notice that the houses on one side of Elton’s main street are built of gritstone but those on the other side are limestone. At almost 1000ft above sea level, a difference in temperature might also be noticed, in fact the village becomes something of a ski resort with a decent snowfall. The one and only pub is genuinely not of this world. Elton is a good base for a walk to the strange outcrop of Robin Hood’s Stride and the nearby hermit’s cave.
