Tideswell is a village and civil parish in the Peak District of Derbyshire, in England. It lies 6 miles east of Buxton on the B6049, in a wide valley on a limestone plateau, at an altitude of 1,000 feet above sea level, and is within the District of Derbyshire Dales. The population (including Wheston) was 1,820 in 2001, increasing slightly to 1,827 at the 2011 Census, making it the second-largest settlement within the National Park, after Bakewell.
Tideswell is known locally as Tidza or Tidsa. In addition, local residents are known as Sawyeds, owing to a traditional story about a farmer who freed his prize cow from a gate in which it had become entangled, by sawing its head off. Today the story is re-enacted raucously and colourfully every Wakes week by a local mummers group called the Tidza Guisers.
In the Middle Ages, Tideswell was a market town known for lead mining. The Tideswell lead miners were renowned for their strength and were much prized by the military authorities. The Domesday Book of 1086 lists TIDESUUELLE as the King's land in the charge of William Peverel with fewer than five households.
Tideswell is now best known for its 14th-century parish church, the Church of St John the Baptist, known as the Cathedral of the Peak, which contains three 15th-century misericords. A sundial lies in the churchyard; it is positioned on steps which local historian Neville T. Sharpe thinks likely to be those of the village's market cross. A market and two-day fair were granted to the village in 1251. The Foljambe family, later the Foljambe baronets, were the principal landowners from the fourteenth to the eighteenth centuries.
The town has a week-long festival near the summer solstice known as the Wakes, culminating in Big Saturday, which includes a torchlight procession through the streets, led by a brass band playing a unique tune called the Tideswell Processional, and townsfolk dancing a traditional weaving dance.
( Tideswell - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Tideswell . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Tideswell - UK

Winster - Peak District Villages
Launches New Winster Video In High Definition.
Peak District Online has now launched the 59th video of the Peak District - now in glorious high definition! This forms part of a 'Peakipedia' video production for the whole of the peak district national park.
Winster lies within the Peak District National Park, just to the east of the B5056 Ashbourne to Bakewell road and about three miles as the crow flies due west of Matlock. The village, on the fringe of the White Peak, is perhaps best approached from the A6 at Darley Dale where the B5057 leads first to Darley Bridge and then climbs up through Wensley before levelling out as it approaches Winster.
Upon entering the village it becomes the Main Street, the scene of the famous Shrove Tuesday Pancake Races which are run annually from the Dower House at one end of the street to the Market House at the other, a distance of about 100 yards. Winster has a number of claims to fame and a fascinating history which includes murder, a double `lovers leap' suicide, a hall and a former inn which are both reputedly haunted, - and the first National Trust owned property in Derbyshire.
Recorded in the Domesday survey as `Winsterne', the village's early history is rather obscure although it is recorded as being one of the 114 Derbyshire manors held by Henry de Ferrers at the time of the Conquest. Around this time a Norman chapel was built on the site of the present church of St.John the Baptist, but it wasn't until 500 years later during the Elizabethan era that the present Winster began to take shape.
Today's Winster is designated a conservation area with around 70 listed buildings, most of which were built in the 18th century when in the space of 50 years between 1720 - 1770 the small village of 600 inhabitants became a lead-mining `boom-town'. At it's height there were more than 20 mines being worked in the area and the resident population swelled to over 2,000 people, - who quenched their collective thirst in 24 taverns or inns.

Carsington - Peak District Villages
presents Carsington. For those who want to explore the ancient villages of Hopton and Carsington, the vast expanse of water to the south has not so much impacted on the villages themselves, rather it seems to have presaged a general and sympathetic rebuilding of the surrounding infrastructure, without detracting from their essential olde worlde charm and character.
A new mile and a half long by-pass takes the main Wirksworth to Ashbourne road out of both villages, leaving them traffic-free backwaters, which have mostly remained unchanged for at least two centuries.
The dwellings forming the nucleus of Carsington village cluster together at Townend, and huddle around the tiny triangular village green, directly opposite the hillside church of St. Margaret's at the foot of Ivet Low. The church is shared by both villages and has a rare sundial on the south wall, with the inscription, `Reedified 1648 W I' - which, after momentary bafflement I realised actually meant re-edified, and indeed, the church was re-edified, or restored, in 1648!
An old Saxon preaching cross on the village green stands opposite the mullioned windowed, seventeenth century Glebe House, one of several of similar date, including the former Rectory, Swiers Farm and the village's only pub, the early eighteenth century Miner's Arms, which is noted for its excellent fare.
The village school is just one of the many legacies endowed by the remarkable Gell family, Lords of the manor of Hopton since the fifteenth century, and owner occupiers long before that.

Tideswell - Peak District Villages
presents Tideswell. Tideswell straggles along either side of a twisting, narrow valley on the moors of the limestone plateau between Litton and Wheston, and about a mile to the west of the main A623 Baslow - Chapel-en-le-Frith road. It forms the point of a triangle on the map along with Bakewell and Buxton, which are seven miles south east and the same distance south west respectively.
When the Romans arrived here almost two thousand years ago in 60 AD they would have found a small settlement of Ancient Britons living in mud and wood huts along the banks of a swift flowing stream. Today the stream is culverted and runs beneath the streets of a thriving, award winning rural community which has won the coveted East Midlands In Bloom competition three times in the last five years.
From all accounts Tideswell seems to be a place with an identity crisis,- too small for a town and too big for a village, and whilst the War Memorial at the end of Church Street honours `the men of this town' who perished in both World Wars, the majority of it`s 2000 residents prefer to describe themselves as villagers. Regardless of its designation Tideswell remains a place of great charm and character with interesting architecture and a fascinating history.
The Saxons ruled here after the Romans had departed and in the 7th century Tideswell was named `Tidi's Wall` after the Saxon Chieftain Tidi. The name remained with a variety of spellings until the 17th century when it became fashionable to suppose that the ebbing and flowing well described as one of Croston`s `Seven Wonders of The Peak` had created the present name of Tideswell.
The `tiding well` which was an intermittent spring produced by a natural syphon in the rock ceased to ebb and flow about 1790, but may still be seen in the garden of Craven House in Manchester Road.
Tiddiswell is recorded in the Domesday Book as a Royal Demesne and Berewick in the Royal Manor of Hope given by William the Conqueror to his illegitimate son, William Peverell who occupied Peverell Castle at nearby Castleton.

Ruardean, the Pludds and Ruardean Woodside”
Filmed 31st August 2018
Running time: 20 minutes
The village of Ruardean provides, as far as I’m concerned, some of the best views of the Wye Valley and Forest of Dean. I visit the village to enjoy a walk, which makes the most of the wonderful vistas. My journey takes me around the northern ridges of the Forest of Dean, with some lovely, quiet and tranquil hamlets and villages, including the Pludds and Ruardean Woodside…..
Filmed in the Wye Valley and Forest of Dean in the county of Gloucestershire. Locations include Ruardean, Readings, Horse Lea, the Pludds and Ruardean Woodside. This is part of the series of films shot in 2018 celebrating 25 years of “The Solitary Rambler”.

Great Longstone - Peak District Villages
- Great Longstone in the Peak District is one of the prettiest of all Peak District Villages . Two miles north west of Bakewell, Great Longstone lies, geographically, under Longstone Edge, a ridge running for five miles onto Longstone Moor, at 400 metres above sea level. The high ground is littered with barrows from the bronze and stone ages as well as old lead mine workings, stretching back centuries. Lead mining and more recently fluorpsar, (the waste product) once gave the village its main source of livelihood. Views from Longstone Moor are panoramic and are well worth the climb up to this peaceful stretch of wild landscape.
The village itself has a fine collection of 18th and 19th Century cottages, a school and a great little pub. The village cross on the green dates back to the period when Flemish weavers settled in this area of Derbyshire, establishing a stocking industry. Trade in stockings led to trade in shoes and the shoe industry is commemorated in the name of the Inn - Crispin is the patron saint of cobblers.
At the North West corner of the village lies Great Longstone Hall, built in 1747 and a former home of the Wright family, one of the oldest families in the county. Another really interesting structure is the Shackly Building or Mary Fernihough's Yard. Dating back to 1600, it has recently been renovated into living accomodation, but is widely believed to have once been the home and farmhouse of the Earl of Shrewsbury, in the 17th century.
On the North side of the village, the sturdy-looking parish church of St Giles dates back to the 13th century. The church's pride-and-joy is its gothic woodwork from the latter half of the middle ages - the roof timbers with their moulded beams and bosses of flowers and foliage. Inside the church are memorials to the local families of Wright and Eyre and also a tribute to a Dr. Edward Buxton who, in the early part of the 19th century, at the age of 73, sacrificed his own health in order to tend the villagers during an outbreak of typhus. The fever visited almost every house in the village, but there were no fatalities.
Just to the South of the village, is Thornbridge Hall, a Georgian T-shaped house, now a conference centre. Until recently it was also home to Thornbridge Brewery, but so successful has this enterprise been, it has relocated to larger premises in Bakewell. The Packhorse in nearby Little Longstone is a sure place to track down one of their award-winning ales, however. Their chief bitter is named Lord Marples, after the former owner of Thornbridge. He it was who had his own railway stop constructed within his grounds, on the railway line that once linked Manchester and London through Monsal Dale. That line is now The Monsal Trail - an easy and accessible way to view, on foot or mountain bike, some of the beautiful landscape that surrounds this charming village.
