The Bull’s Head Location

The delightful village of Foolow dates back at least to Anglo-Saxon times; indeed its name suggests that it was probably the site of a now lost pre-historic burial mound. The village today is small but very pretty, with quiet, country lanes, limestone cottages, a village green with a medieval cross … even a picture-perfect duck pond, complete with white Aylesbury ducks!

The lovely village of Foolow

The scene wasn’t always so quiet and peaceful, however. In the early 18th Century Foolow was a thriving centre for lead mining, and its population and wealth boomed. More people arrived with the diversion of the Sheffield to Buxton turnpike road through Foolow in the late 18th Century, at which time the Bull’s Head was one of five pubs in the village. It’s now the last survivor.  

Foolow lies within the White Peak area of the Peak District, characterised by gently rolling hills and lush green pastures criss-crossed with limestone walls. There are beautiful walks in every direction from the village. Only a short drive or a peaceful stroll away lies the historic village of Eyam, famous for its inspiring tale of courage during the Plague of 1666, and the picturesque Ashford in-the-Water, surely a contender for the prettiest village in the Peak District. Still within easy driving distance is the town of Bakewell, home of the delicious Bakewell pudding, and the country estates of Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall.
