Location

Chapel-en-le-Frith, known as 'The Capital of the Peak' nestles in an upland valley in the High Peak and is surrounded by dramatic landscape of gritstone ridges and shapely hills. The town takes its name from a small chapel built in 1225 by the keepers of the Royal Forest that is now the Church of St Thomas Becket, where 1,500 Scottish soldiers were imprisoned during the Civil War. The historic town centre also features a traditional marketplace which still has its original renowned stocks which the local cafe takes its name. A common phrase you here many resident say is "We are so lucky to live here" even after living in the town for decades. That is further, solid evidence, if ever it was needed that Chapel-en-le-Frith and its surrounding towns and villages are an excellent place to set up home.
