Hayfield Tours
Once the site of a Roman ford, then a cluster of remote settlements within the royal Peak Forest hunting grounds, the water flowing from Kinder Scout helped turn Hayfield into a thriving industrial town. Built from locally quarried millstone grit, Hayfield is now a quiet village nestled in the shadows of the Pennines with a rich history for those who know where to look.
