A wander around Eltisley






What started as a woodland walked turned into a wander around Eltisley. We parked just off the B1040 and followed the footpath that skirted the edge of the wood, we couldn’t in! We eventually found the entrance to the woodland but the path was overgrown so instead we decided to continue along the footpath and go into the village of Eltisley. It felt like we were walking through someone’s garden first of all, but then we found the road to ‘the green’ with it’s Cade Pavilion (cricket club), gorgeous village church and pub. The history of Eltisley is that it’s likely to have been an Anglo Saxon settlement and is mentioned in the Domesday Book.
