Welcome to Heage

Heage is a small village located in the county of Derbyshire, England. It is situated approximately 4 miles north of Belper and 10 miles north of Derby. The village is known for its historic windmill, which is the only six-sailed stone tower windmill in England. The windmill was built in 1797 and was used for grinding corn until 1919. Today, the windmill is open to the public and visitors can climb to the top to enjoy the stunning views of the surrounding countryside.

In addition to the windmill, Heage is also home to St. Luke's Church, which dates back to the 13th century. The church is a Grade II listed building and features a beautiful stained glass window that was designed by the famous artist, Charles Eamer Kempe. The village also has a number of traditional pubs, including The Spanker Inn, which is a popular spot for locals and visitors alike.

Heage is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is a popular destination for walkers and hikers. The village is located near the Peak District National Park, which is known for its stunning landscapes and picturesque villages. Visitors can explore the park on foot or by bike, and there are a number of trails and routes to choose from. Whether you're looking for a relaxing stroll or a challenging hike, Heage and the surrounding area has something to offer everyone.

A Nice Quiet Woods To Walk The Dog. I’Ve Never Met Them But There Are Bikes That Ride Past So Be Careful. It Is Hilly And Uneven So Unsuitable For Some. Multiple Places To Park For Free Off-Road But Sometimes Can Be Busy. More Walks In The Winter When The Ferns Haven’T Grown Up And Blocked The Paths

Stoney Wood
We Visited Stoney Wood Whilst Staying In Wirksworth. Walkable From The Village Or Park Close By. This Place Is Part Of A Millennium Wood Planted In An Old Quarry. Great For A Short Walk To Stretch The Legs. Go Up The Steep Hill To Find The Star Disc At The Top. Dogs Can Run Free, Lots Of Space, Grass, Winding Tracks And Trees For Exploring And Sniffing. Seems Like A Local Dog Walking Spot. Lovely Views Over The Dale From The Top. Walk Into The Village Whilst You Are There And Walk Up To The Puzzle Gardens Area For Cute Lanes And Cottages. Your Dog Will Get Lots Of Exercise From The Hills!

Walk The Derbyshire Dales Along The High Peak Trail. We Chose To Start At Middleton Top But There's Many Other Points To Jump On. The Former Railway Line Runs For 17.5Miles. There Are Toilets And Oaid Parking, Plus Cafe At Middleton Top. We Walked Towards Black Rocks. Its About 1-2 Miles, Downhill. Be Aware, It'll Make You Puff On The Way Back Up! The Track Is Stoney, Wide And Goes From Flat To Hilly, Open Views Across The Valley To Tree Lined. The Lune Has Signposts Charting The History Along The Way. Dogs Don't Have To Be On Leads But There Are Bikes! Our Dog Loved It. We Enjoyed The Spectacular Views.
