The climbing and caving in Stoney is a 10 minute walk from the door and there is a good pub across the road.

All bookings are on an exclusive basis and for groups only. Sorry, no under 18s.

Parking

Please only park in the areas marked blue (see plan diagram). Try to keep as many cars as possible in the grass forecourt by the hut. Overflow parking is available against the wall in the area to the left of the entrance as you enter from the road.

Please don’t park anywhere else as it is required by the guests of the nearby cottages.


Public Transport

The 257 Hulleys of Baslow bus and the 65 Stagecoach bus both serve the Toll Bar bus stop approximately 200m from the hut. If traveling by train to Sheffield (SHF), these buses can be caught from the Sheffield Interchange just over the road from Sheffield Station.

Our nearest station is Grindleford (GRN) which is served by Manchester-Sheffield trains on the Hope Valley Line. It’s a pleasant ~5km walk from there along the Derwent Valley to the hut. Alternatively, the 65 Stagecoach bus can be caught en route from Sheffield outside The Maynard, approximately 400m south of Grindleford Station.
