Shardlow is an unexpected delight for any unsuspecting visitor, whether emerging from the Derby conurbation in the north and finding quiet, spacious, sweeping greenery, or from the south where a signpost tells you you’re now in Derbyshire, although without the hills and dales you might have been expecting. As you spy the boats, locks, and warehouses, you might even wonder if you’ve been transported to a corner of the Netherlands, an impression that would have been even more likely if Shardlow had hung on to its windmill and more importantly in its hayday it was referred to as ‘Rural Rotterdam’ and ‘Little Liverpool’. Today Shardlow is Britain’s most complete surviving example of a canal village, much of it snuggled safely in a conservation area.

Dating back to 1871, The Old Sunday School can be found on the lower level of the Grade II listed Fernilee Methodist Chapel and offers the opportunity for a truly unique stay within the Peak District National Park. The incredibly exciting project which has seen the conversion of the old Sunday School into fabulous self-catering guest accommodation has involved the local and wider community, as well as attracting support from all over the world and quite wonderfully unearthed a time capsule from 150 years ago. By doing this the long-standing heritage of Fernilee village has been safeguarded for future generations and has meant that the chapel can remain operational for Sunday afternoon services and occasional events to serve the local residents. Completely self-contained, the holiday accommodation is accessed independently from the chapel, which is set into the hillside overlooking the Goyt Valley.

Walks are available through beautiful countryside straight from the door including round both Fernilee and Errwood Reservoirs.
