Hartington, at the northern end of Dovedale in the Peak District<\/a>, still wears the air of a prosperous market town, although it is nearly 800 years since its market charter was granted and many years since a market was last held in its spacious Square. <\/p>

The classical three-arched facade of the Town Hall, built in 1836, adds to this urban impression, and The Square is ringed by sturdy 18^{th<\/sup>–\u00a0and 19^{th<\/sup>-century stone cottages.<\/p>}}

Hartington Cheese Shop<\/h2>
In The Square is the Hartington Cheese Shop<\/a>, selling blue-veined Stilton cheese from the Hartington Creamery at nearby Pikehall Farm. The creamery is one of a handful in the country licensed to produce Stilton cheese.\u00a0<\/p>

YHA Hartington Hall<\/h2>
The most famous visitor to Hartington was probably Bonnie Prince Charlie (Prince Charles Edward Stuart) on his ill-fated march on London in 1645. He is alleged to have stayed at the lovely Tudor mansion of Hartington Hall<\/a>, south-east of the village centre, which is now surely one of the most palatial youth hostels in the country.\u00a0<\/p>
The hill-top Parish Church of St Giles is one of the most interesting in the Peak, dating mainly from the 13^{th<\/sup>\u00a0and 14^{th<\/sup>\u00a0centuries.\u00a0<\/p>}}

Hartington is handily placed for an excursion into the upper reaches of what is perhaps the Peak\u2019s most famous dale \u2013 Dovedale. Just take the footpath south out of the village through Beresford Dale.<\/p> <\/body><\/html>\n
