Edale - Peak District Villages
www.peakdistrictonline.co.uk presents Edale . Edale is in fact the common name given to the whole valley. It was mentioned in the Domesday Book as Aidele, but the settlements along the valley bottom are now called Booths which is a term that came along in the 16th and 17th centuries when foresters and boothmen built shelters for their cattle and sheep. A booth was an enclosure rented from the Crown where a herdsman or settler could protect his stock from wolves. The shelters expanded to permanent dwellings and now form the hamlets of Over Booth, Nether Booth, Barber Booth, Lady Booth, Grindsbrook Booth and Ollerbrook Booth. Grindsbrook Booth is the main settlement of Edale where the church was built. In 1894 a further form of access to Edale was achieved with the opening of the Dore and Chinley railway line which is a wonderful way to travel through the National Park from Sheffield to Manchester or Stockport.
