Officially gaining village status in the 18th century, the residents of this tight-knit community really have a village they can be proud of.
From the charming buildings to a well-kept village green, Litton is typical of the kind of scenic villages you find all around the Derbyshire Peak District.
Locals and visitors are well served in the village, with a pub, post office, two churches and a primary school. There are also several buildings of historical significance in and around Litton.
2. The Red Lion Pub
The Red Lion Pub at Litton can be found on Church Lane. Converted from three miners' cottages, the pub first opened back in 1778. Offering more than just food and drink, the Red Lion has two rooms available above the pub for anyone wishing to stay over in the village. The pub is praised for its "super friendly staff" and "proper pub food". Photo: Jason Chadwick
