Welcome to Lower Hartshay

Lower Hartshay is a small village located in the Amber Valley district of Derbyshire, England. The village is situated on the eastern bank of the River Amber and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village is known for its picturesque views and peaceful atmosphere, making it a popular destination for tourists looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.

The village has a rich history dating back to the 17th century when it was a thriving mining community. The village was home to several coal mines, and the miners and their families lived in the village. Today, the village has a small population of around 200 people, and the mines have long since closed. However, the village still retains its mining heritage, and visitors can explore the old mine workings and learn about the history of the village.

Lower Hartshay is a great place to visit for those who love the outdoors. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside, and there are plenty of walking and cycling routes to explore. The River Amber is also a popular spot for fishing, and visitors can try their hand at catching trout and grayling. The village is also close to several other attractions, including the historic market town of Belper and the stunning Peak District National Park.
