Congreave

Congreave is a tiny hamlet 2 miles south of Bakewell near to Haddon Hall, situated on an elevated position above the River Wye consisting of a handful of cottages, together with Stanton Old Hall which dates back to 1667 and lots of rich pasture surrounding working dairy farms.

Below the cluster of cottages is a strange shaped 'sugarloaf' hill topped with beech trees, surrounded by the remains of a dry moat. This is Peak Tor, also known as Pillow Hill which was an early Celtic camp or settlement.

Things to do; Walk up the hill from Congreave and you will arrive at Stanton Moor with its strange-shaped rock formations, and The Nine Ladies stone circle. Congreave is situated about a mile from Rowsley where you can visit Caudwell's Mill, being the only surviving Victorian flour mill in the country that is still working.
