Butterton is a delightful village in the Staffordshire Moorlands area of the Peak District, within easy reach of the market towns of Leek and Buxton. The well kept village of Butterton is known as a 'Doubly Thankful' village as fortunately it suffered no fatalities during both world wars. The picturesque village has a great traditional pub called The Black Lion Inn offering a range of local draft ales and excellent home cooked food. The neighbouring villages of Onecote and Warslow also have good pubs and both serve quality food. With a beautiful feeling of rural living, Butterton is also close to the pretty village of Hartington with two pubs, a tea shop and Post Office, a village store selling a variety of local produce as well as everyday essentials and a cheese shop selling a variety of cheeses including those produced in their own creamery. Close by are the magnificent Manifold and Dove Valleys with their stunning gorges and rolling hillsides. Both have flat tracks and trails along the rivers, making them accessible for those who prefer a leisurely stroll or cycle. The Tissington, High Peak and Monsal trails, which are former railway lines now converted into leisure routes for walkers and cyclists, are a short drive away. If you require something a little more challenging, the famous millstone grit outcrop which is popular with walkers and cyclists, The Roaches, is also easily accessible. Also nearby, Tittesworth Reservoir is set in superb scenery, has a wonderful children's playground and visitor centre, and is a delight for walkers, cyclists and bird watchers. Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall, the spa town of Buxton with its famous Opera House, the attractive market town of Bakewell and Alton Towers theme park are all within easy reach.
