Welcome to Mount Pleasant

Mount Pleasant is a small village located in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire, England. The village is situated on the A615 road, which connects the towns of Matlock and Alfreton. Mount Pleasant is a quiet and peaceful village, surrounded by beautiful countryside and rolling hills. The village is home to a small community of residents, who enjoy the tranquility and natural beauty of the area.

One of the main attractions of Mount Pleasant is its proximity to the Peak District National Park. The park is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, offering a range of activities such as hiking, cycling, and rock climbing. The park is also home to a variety of wildlife, including deer, foxes, and birds of prey. Visitors to Mount Pleasant can enjoy the stunning scenery of the Peak District, as well as the many outdoor activities on offer.

Despite its small size, Mount Pleasant has a rich history. The village was once a thriving mining community, with several coal mines operating in the area. Today, the mines have closed, but the village still retains its mining heritage. Visitors can explore the old mine workings and learn about the history of the area. Mount Pleasant is also home to several historic buildings, including the 17th-century Mount Pleasant Hall, which is now a popular venue for weddings and events.

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.
