Charlesworth

England

Charlesworth perches in Derbyshire's High Peak, where former mill cottages line the Etherow Valley near the Peak District boundary. Access via the A628 Woodhead Pass from the M67 terminus, or the A6018 from Glossop, with the dramatic trans-Pennine route popular among weekend drivers from Sheffield and Manchester. The village's Victorian gritstone cottages still feature their original tall, narrow windows, designed to catch maximum light for the textile workers who once lived there.
