Welcome to Griffydam

Griffydam is a small village located in the North West Leicestershire district of Leicestershire, England. The village is situated on the border of Derbyshire and Leicestershire, and it is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village is home to a small population of around 300 people, and it is a peaceful and quiet place to live.

The village of Griffydam has a rich history, and it is believed to have been settled since the Roman times. The village was once a thriving mining community, and it was home to several coal mines. However, the mines closed in the 1960s, and the village has since become a popular destination for tourists and visitors who come to enjoy the beautiful countryside and the peaceful way of life.

Despite its small size, Griffydam has a strong sense of community, and there are several local events and activities that take place throughout the year. The village has a local pub, a village hall, and a small shop, which provides essential supplies for the local residents. The village is also home to a primary school, which serves the local community and provides education for children aged between 4 and 11 years old.
