village of Hathersage...overlooked by local crags and hills and moorlands
and although we're in the heart of the lovely Peak District National Park, 
it's easy and quick to get here by road, railway or air from all parts of the 
United Kingdom and overseas.



The bright blue colour of the open air heated swimming pool near to Rock Lea 
stands out very clearly on this aerial image of the village of Hathersage and the 
surrounding patchwork of grazing fields.  The village's car park and Rock Lea's
own car park  are in the centre of the village just  to the  West (left) of the 
swimming pool and tennis courts. Hathersage railway station is on the lower 
edge of the image, within easy walking distance of the village's many  popular 
outdoor shops, gift shops and cafes.
