Beautiful serene spot with fantastic views of Matlock on Remembrance Sunday at Pic Tor Matlock. A walk through the church yard leads to quite a steep path to the memorial and a walk down the other side to the river walk in to Matlock.

Geddington village is worth a visit for many reasons but it is also unique in having the only triangular-section Queen Eleanor Cross of the 12 or so erected in the 1290s (nearby Hardingstone Cross on the southern side of Northampton and Waltham Cross are the other sole survivors). The quality of the stone carving at Geddington is outstanding and much of the detail remains sharp after over 700 years exposure to the elements! Historians debate the stylistic forms of the carvings and they may or may not be Spanish or English Gothic in origin but this is all a bit academic really. Go visit and spend a quiet 30 minutes or so in the centre of a virtually unspoilt English village with a rich heritage. St Mary Magdalene church, The Star Inn and the medieval bridge over the River Ise (with adjacent ford) are also worth visiting as you wander around. NB. Check SatNav for Geddington location as village now off main road but approx. mid-way between towns of Kettering and Corby.

Due to a major refurbishment we will not be open during 2018. Work starts after Easter and should be finished by September. Remembrance Sunday will be as normal.
Really interesting history inside mainly focused on the two world wars. The money you pay to get in goes towards its upkeep. I chatted to a really interesting veteran who really knew his stuff and was super friendly. Worth a visit if you're in loughborough.
