Edwalton

Edwalton between village history and active days

Edwalton combines a traditionally rural village character with historic buildings, golf and nature experiences. The historic village centre retains its traditional rural character and is therefore a point of interest in its own right alongside the historic buildings. This combination may be appealing when choosing a holiday apartment or holiday home: choose Edwalton as your base if you want to get to know the village itself while also planning a range of day trips.

Historic features in the village landscape

One of the prominent historic landmarks is the Church of the Holy Rood. It has stood for more than 800 years and forms an important part of the village's history. Holy Rood is also home to a 1932 memorial lychgate, topped with a Celtic cross. Those interested in ecclesiastical architecture, places of remembrance and established village landscapes will find several distinct historical facets here.

Edwalton Hall also adds to the area's historic profile. The house was built around 1907 in the C18 Domestic Revival style and designed by A. W. Brewill. Edwalton Hall is also listed as a Grade II building of special architectural or historic interest.

Golf and nature for different day plans

Edwalton Golf Centre offers several options for a day of golf: the grounds include a nine-hole course, a par-3 course, a driving range and a putting green. The courses, including the par-3 course, are open to both regular players and beginners. This allows you to shape the focus of the day according to your own experience and interests. For a group, this can provide a practical choice between regular play, par-3 golf and practice.

For nature enthusiasts, Sharphill Wood is located near Edwalton. The area was designated a nature reserve in 2010. A family nature trail for Sharphill Wood is also available to download. You can take this information into account when planning a day outdoors and balance the natural aspects with the historic impressions and golf facilities.

Getting around locally

The church has no dedicated car park, but on-street parking is available on the surrounding roads.
