Hope Valley, Derbyshire

The Noe then flows to Shatton near Bamford, before entering the River Derwent, which has travelled about ten miles from Bleaklow.

In the centre of the valley is a long-established cement factory, the UK's biggest, run by Hope Construction Materials.

[1] It is somewhat infamous locally because it is a prominent industrial operation in the middle of a National Park and is very visible from many locations.

The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as having both a priest and a church, the only place in north Derbyshire to have such status at the time.

The village is built on the A6187 Sheffield to Castleton road, near the junction of the B6049 that runs northward from Tideswell to Edale.
