Edale, Agricultural village in High Peak, England
Edale consists of scattered hamlets situated in a valley between mountains, marking the beginning point of the extensive Pennine Way trail system.
The settlement evolved from medieval cattle farms called vaccaries, established in the 13th century when the area belonged to the royal Forest of High Peak.
The village maintains traditional farming practices and seasonal celebrations, including an annual bonfire event near Guy Fawkes Night in November.
The railway station on the Hope Valley line provides regular connections to Sheffield and Manchester, with services running approximately every hour.
The local cotton mill, constructed in 1795, operated for nearly 150 years before its restoration in the 1970s by the Landmark Trust organization.
