About New Whittington
Where to stay in New Whittington
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
New Whittington is a village of houses, so a bed here is a rarity, and most visitors work from Chesterfield or from Staveley and come out past Whittington Moor. St Barnabas marks the centre. Springwell House stands nearby, and Old Whittington is the neighbour worth an hour on foot, with Barrow Hill east of the village.
You want New Whittington for quiet, and for a base that keeps Chesterfield and Staveley both within an easy run.
About New Whittington
What are the main landmarks in New Whittington?
Two names carry the village. St Barnabas holds the church entry for New Whittington, and Springwell House stands as the one older house name on a list that stays short. Whittington Moor and Old Whittington sit close by, and Barrow Hill and Staveley lie east, so much of what a visitor walks to from here carries another settlement's name.
Chesterfield governs the lot.
What is the history of New Whittington?
