About Padfield
Padfield is a small village in High Peak, Derbyshire. We sit on the west side of the Peak District National Park, next to the small town of Hadfield and the larger town of Glossop. While two major roads are very nearby (the Snake Pass and the Woodhead Road both running between Sheffield and Manchester) Padfield remains a small, rural village with just one small school, one pub and no shops of its own. It also has a thriving and passionate community, committed to ensuring that Padfield's future maintains its beautiful surroundings whilst being a welcoming and inclusive place for everyone to live.
Much of the village is under Conservation Area protections, and we are within easy reach of the Dark Peak and the Longdendale Valley with it's reservoirs and Trail.
If you want to learn more about our home, Padfield has a website of its own full of more fascinating history and facts.
