*************

Hope is a village and civil parish in the Derbyshire Peak District, in England. The population of the civil parish taken at the 2011 Census was 864.^[1] It lies in the Hope Valley, at the point where Peakshole Water flows into the River Noe. To the north, Win Hill and Lose Hill stand either side of the Noe.

There is evidence of ancient human occupation of the area around Hope. Mesolithic implements were found  by a footpath at Win Hill.^[2] A sandstone or ironstone Neolithic axe was found near Hope before 1877 and is now held in the collection at Bolton Museum.^[3] The village is close to the Mam Tor hillfort in the adjacent parsh of Castleton and human remains and Bronze Age urns were found along with a possible barrow close to the summit of Lose Hill.^[4] A Bronze Age barrow called The Folly, with a diameter of 23 metres (75 ft), is located within the parish, close to Pindale Road.^[5]

Hope has a railway station on the Sheffield to Manchester (Hope Valley) line with services provided by the rail company Northern (in 2017).^[21] A main road, the old A625 followed the route of the Sheffield & Chapel-en-le-Frith Turnpike Company's road of 1802 through the village and then over Little Mam Tor. The old truncated section of the A625 to Castleton has been re-designated as the A6187 after the Mam Tor section of the road was closed to all traffic in 1979 following one of many landslips.^[22]
