Welcome to Whaley

Whaley Bridge is a small town located in the High Peak district of Derbyshire, England. The town is situated on the River Goyt and is surrounded by the beautiful Peak District National Park. Whaley Bridge is a popular destination for tourists who come to enjoy the stunning scenery and explore the many walking trails in the area. The town has a rich history and is home to several historic buildings, including the Grade II listed Whaley Bridge railway station.

One of the most popular attractions in Whaley Bridge is the Toddbrook Reservoir. The reservoir was built in the 1830s to supply water to the Peak Forest Canal and is now a popular spot for fishing, boating, and walking. In 2019, the Toddbrook Reservoir made headlines when it was damaged during heavy rainfall, leading to the evacuation of the town. The incident highlighted the importance of maintaining infrastructure and the need for effective flood prevention measures.

Whaley Bridge is also home to several annual events, including the Whaley Bridge Carnival and the Whaley Bridge Arts Festival. The carnival is a popular community event that features a parade, live music, and a funfair. The arts festival showcases the work of local artists and includes exhibitions, workshops, and performances. These events bring the community together and provide a platform for local talent to showcase their skills.
