Ballidon

Ballidon is a village and civil parish in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire, England, on the edge of the Peak District National Park.

Details are maintained in the civil Parish of Aldwark, Derbyshire.

Ballidon was listed in the Domesday Book of 1086[3] and was a much larger village than seen today.

That area now devastated by the Tilcon Quarry was a deep valley and the site of an ambush of troops of the Jacobite rising of 1745; skulls and weaponry were recovered on the west bank of the stream.

[5][6][7] The Limestone Way long-distance footpath passes just south of the hamlet of Ballidon.
