Harpur Hill, Derbyshire

Flower Delivery to Harpur Hill with Clare Florist

The small village of Harpur Hill is located in Derbyshire county in the United Kingdom. The relatively small town isn’t big enough to have an airport or supermarket, but it does have some impressive architecture, specifically at the two churches there. St. James’ Church and the Harpur Hill Methodist Church are both beautiful examples of pre-World War 2 building design.

Harpur Hill also lays ownership to its very own Harpur Hill Primary School which has been said to be one of the best schools in the area. All of the houses seem to be in very good shape and all the neighborhoods in Harpur Hill all feel and look very safe. Each house seems to have its own style and it can be a game in itself to walk down the streets and look at all of the different houses.

The citizens of Harpur Hill participate in their annual Scarecrow Festival every September. Essentially, for two pounds you can enter the Scarecrow Festival. The most recent competition in September of 2015 had no overlying theme, however it was very successful. While Harpur Hill may be a small town, it is undoubtedly a lively one as well. Harpur Hill was used in 1938 as an underground munitions store by the RAF. The tunnels that the RAF have dug were since abandoned and repurposed, then serving as a mushroom farm. Finally, the tunnels were repurposed yet again to serve as a cold storage for mostly cheese. This cheese storage area has brought in considerable amounts of business to Harpur Hill. If you look for yourself, you are actually able to see many of the bunkers on the village’s hillside.

Like most small towns, Harpur Hill is a very interesting place to just explore, whether it be by yourself or with friends and family. You could easily spend an entire day there and even spend the night at The Parks Inn which is a small but cozy place to rest for the night. Some good places to visit in Harpur Hill include Bludonut Disco and Karaoke, or the wedding store, Pretty Sitting. The village has a very nice gym called the Harpur Hill Sports Centre and even a store dedicated fully to selling different types of Popcorn. The nicest part is how everything is walking distance, but you could also use one of the many taxi services there if need be.
