Chinley Derbyshire Map

About Chinley

Chinley unfolds its quiet character against the dramatic backdrop of the Peak District's Kinder Scout and Mam Tor. It lies 2.6 km north-west of Chapel-en-le-Frith (from Chapel-en-le-Frith: bearing 314°T, OS grid SK 040 825), and is situated north-north-east of Whitehough village. The air here often carries the clean scent of damp earth and distant sheep, a breath from the sprawling moors that embrace Chinley. Its former life as a hub for quarrying, the very stone of the surrounding hills brought down to shape buildings and pathways, still whispers from the robust, grey-stoned cottages that cluster around its modest centre. The gentle murmur of the River Goyt, a ribbon of silver threading through the valley, provides a constant, soothing soundtrack to the village's unhurried existence.
