Wensley

A quiet village straddling the winding, hilly road to Winster and with stunning views down into Wensley Dale. The cottages owe their existence to lead mining. Retired now though, and with its last shop closed too, Wensley does have an unspoiled pub which has been in the same farming family for half a century. Hard to believe that the little village square has known scenes of bull-baiting or that Wensley lay on the Buxton-Nottingham turnpike, and has a toll cottage to prove it.
