About Hayfield
Hayfield
The lovely village of Hayfield lies in the valley of the River Sett, at the foot of Kinder Scout, on the very edge of the Peak District National Park. Hayfield is an ancient village, with evidence of inhabitation since pre-Roman times. It is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as ‘Hedfelt’, part of the Royal Forest of the Peak. Despite its isolated location it was an important settlement, most probably because it was situated on an ancient packhorse route between Cheshire and Yorkshire and the line of a former Roman road between Buxton and Glossop.
