Hope Valley, Derbyshire

Hope Valley, Derbyshire

The Hope Valley is a rural area centred on the village of Hope, Derbyshire in the Peak District in the northern Midlands of England.

The name also applies to the Post Town which includes the surrounding villages.

The Valley

Although the Hope Valley appears to be a single valley, the name of the river changes several times. The head of the valley lies below Mam Tor at Castleton. From here, the Peakshole Water flows to Hope, where it enters the lower reaches of the River Noe, which has flowed from Edale. The Noe then flows to Bamford, where it enters the River Derwent which has travelled about ten miles from Bleaklow. The valley is now technically the Derwent Valley, but the term "Hope Valley" is still used as the Derwent flows through Hathersage, Grindleford and Calver. By the time the Derwent reaches Baslow, the term "Hope Valley" is no longer applicable.

Other streams in the area include the Burbage Brook which runs down from Burbage through Padley Gorge and into the River Derwent near Grindleford station.

The area is a popular tourist destination, particularly as the Hope Valley Line railway from Sheffield to Manchester runs through it, from the western end of the Totley Tunnel near Grindleford to the eastern end of the Cowburn Tunnel near Edale.

The Hope Valley College is the only secondary school in the Hope Valley.
