Grindleford is a limestone village in North Derbyshire. Access is gained by railway, the Totley Tunnel reaching 3 and a half miles in length from Totley in Sheffield beneath Totley Moor to Grindleford. One of the old station buildings is now a very popular café. Visitors and experts alike can marvel at the strange rock formations on display at Rainster Rocks and Hipley Hill, or explore the abundance of fauna existing there. The village church of St James is a Norman church with some Saxon remains still visible today. Grindleford’s oldest resident is a man standing with hand on heart carved into stone high up on the church tower, believed to be a Saxon carving. The centre of Grindleford is dissected by the river Derwent, over which a 3 arched bridge has been carrying traffic since the 1700’s, a popular route in the old coaching days. Relics of this era remain today with the village Post-Office occupying an old toll house. Just North of the village is the Longshaw estate, once owned by the Dukes of Rutland and now the property of the National Trust. It offers scenic walks through lovely moorland and woodland as well as a visitor centre.
