I like to visit pretty villges when I'm walking in the countryside.Here is a list of what I like to see -
An attractive sign as I enter the village. Only a few villges where I live in Doncaster have one however over the boundary in the Bassetlaw district of Nottinghamshire nearly every village has a pretty wrought iron sign featuring something unique to that village...I frequently photograph them. Unfortunately most villages in the Peak District don't have one; Eyam does though, but I've never photographed it because it's in a difficult to get to location, dangerous traffic and poor visability.
A village pond, ducks are optional.
A red phonebox.
A traditional pub, ideally with a beer garden.
A mediaeval church with a lychgate.
Thatched cottages - these are rare locally and in the Peak District - there is a row of them at Baslow Nether End though.
Flowers everywhere in the summer.
A village green.
Cobbled streets.
If possible, a castle, defernsive walls and gates...and a large country house or hall.
