Hollinsclough is a small, picturesque Peak District village in the upper Dove Valley. It is a stone built village, set amid some splendid unspoilt limestone scenery. The attractive stone houses, chapel and village hall are flanked by the remarkable peaks of Crome, Hollins and Parkhouse Hills, coral reef limestone peaks that rise gracefully to give them the appearance of mountains.
The position of the village between moorland, open hills, rivers, streams and the peaks make it a unique location for a wide variety of activities. The stunning scenery has provided the backdrop for a number of films and television programmes including Peak Practice and films such as Pride and Prejudice.
Hollinsclough had a thriving silk weaving cottage industry back in the 18th Century. Material was transported by pack horse to the silk mills at Macclesfield. Several of the old pack horse bridges and footpaths remain in the area as walks, cycle paths and bridleways.
There is still a thriving school situated behind its 19th Century predecessor, the Frank Wheldon School an imposing building topped with a wooden 'dove cote' bell tower which once surrounded the children from outlying farms to school. It is now an outdoor centre.
