A Bit about Us

We purchased the Cheese Shop in June 2020 and have been gradually expanding our range to include even more local Derbyshire and Peak District cheeses, alongside beers from local breweries and English wines.

We first established the business out of a passion for good, honest, traditionally produced food, and we are committed to preserving the “cheese” reputation and heritage that has long been synonymous with Hartington.

If you have any questions about our cheeses, other products, or anything else, please don’t hesitate to contact us on 01298 84935.

Hartington Cheese Shop

Hartington is a prosperous little village standing at the northern end of the Dove Valley.

It holds the earliest recorded market charter in the Peak.

In 1203, King John granted the right for William de Ferrers, Earl of Derby, to hold a market every Wednesday, and also for a three-day fair at the festival of St Giles, the village’s patron saint, in his manor at Hartington.

There has been a well established famous Cheese Shop in Hartington for approximately 50 years.

The shop specialises in English and UK cheeses, many from local artisan cheese producers.

Hartington can be found in the Peak District National Park close to the towns of Buxton and Ashbourne, just off the A515.

The shop is open 7 days a week from 9am until 5pm. Remember you can always buy your cheese online at any time from Hartington Cheese Shop.

Our Garden

The Hartington Cheese Shop is immensely proud of it's beautiful garden. This is all down to Amanda's parents who have been tending to it for the last six years. They have worked so hard through all weathers to make this such a calming space to sit, relax and enjoy the plants and wildlife. Everyone is welcome. Well maybe apart from the rabbit who visits us regularly and munches through all our sunflowers and lupins!

This is Jackie and Steve, both spring chickens. They are the most amazing and passionate gardeners and we can't thank them enough for what they create in our little space. Thank you mum and dad.

If they are in the garden when you visit, say hello and have a chat. They will be so happy to talk to you and discuss plants.

"It's a project we've enjoyed, converting a weed and bramble patch into a tranquil little corner of Hartington"
