Here's
the list, in alphabetical order:
Ashford-in-the-Water:
A
very pretty village with plenty to see...and a good base for
accessing the Monsal Trail. The article states that Sheepwash Bridge
is the most photographed bridge in England.
Bakewell:
The
unofficial capital of the Peak District; plenty of quirky shops,
pubs, and cafes.
Castleton:
Tourist
honeypot - easy to reach from Sheffield. Plenty of shops and pubs.
The village specialises in the production of blue john
jewellery...the mineral is found nowhere else on Earth.
Edale:
It
wouldn't be on my list. It's surrounded by stunning countryside but
the village is nothing special.
Edensor:
A unique village on the Chatsworth estate. Every cottage is
different yet they were all built at the same time.
Eyam:
The
'Plague Village' A fascinating history and an uplifting example of self-sacrifice for the common good. Plenty to see and do, and some pretty,
yet quite easy walks in the area.
Hartington:
I've
only visited the once and wasn't that impressed with the place.
Hathersage:
More
workmanlike than most places in the Peak District; it has nice areas
though. Easy access to nearby climbing areas on the Eastern Edges.
Tideswell:
Plenty
of shops and cafes, and a large parish church known as the 'Cathedral
of the Peak.'
Tissington:
I've
not been yet, so can't comment.
Personally
I wouldn't include Edale and Hartington on the list and would replace
them with Monyash and Froggatt.
