Foolow Derbyshire Map

About Foolow

Foolow rests gently in a landscape that has seen centuries unfold. It lies 8.8 km north-north-west of Bakewell (from Bakewell: bearing 343°T, OS grid SK 190 768), and is situated south-east of Great Hucklow village. The ancient packhorse trails that once wound their way through this part of the Derbyshire Dales still whisper of journeys past, their stone surfaces worn smooth by the passage of countless feet and hooves. Here, the very air seems to carry the scent of damp earth and wild thyme, a subtle perfume that clings to the low stone walls and the fields that roll away towards the horizon. The village itself, a collection of sturdy dwellings gathered around a modest green, possesses a quiet dignity, its buildings speaking of a practical, enduring spirit. Even on a grey day, the light can catch the lichen on the ancient church tower, lending it a momentary, unexpected luminescence.
