Hathersage Hotels

Hathersage – an overview

The village, which attracts large numbers of hikers, cyclists and rock-climbers, was just a small farming community until the Industrial Revolution, when Hathersage was home to numerous mills. One of the most famous visitors to the village was Charlotte Brontë, who came here in 1845 and is most renowned for her novel 'Jane Eyre', which was published just two years later. It is alleged that Brontë found her inspiration at North Lees Hall, an enchanting 16th-century tower house that was occupied by the Eyre family and was depicted as 'Thornfield Hall' in her novel.
