Send flowers to Ridgeway, Derbyshire

Send flowers by post to Ridgeway for next day delivery

Ridgeway is a district and small village in North East Derbyshire in England. It is located just south of the Yorkshire border and is approximately six miles from Sheffield city centre yet it is still contained within the Moss Valley Conservation Area. Such a location combines an abundance of rural charm with the practical benefits and amenities of proximity to a major urban centre. Ridgeway is actually an amalgamation of three smaller hamlets – Ridgeway, Ridgeway Moor and Sloadlane. In addition, its gradual expansion in recent times means it now blends with several other small villages in the area, including Birley Hey, Ford and Highlane. This increased size provides a greater range of facilities without losing the sense of community spirit.

The history of Ridgeway dates back to around 700 years ago, when it would have once been part of the vast Sherwood Forest. The primary industry in the region and one that provided the foundation for much of Ridgeway, as well as its surrounding villages and hamlets, was that of scythe and sickle manufacturing. At one time, this would have been a crucial industry, providing the means for a largely agricultural Britain to harvest their crops. There is much evidence of this historic industry still in the Ridgeway area, from converted scythe factories to the abundance of grindstones that would have been used to sharpen the blades and are now built into houses among other things.

Residents of modern-day Ridgeway are well provided for. The village has a primary school, two important religious sites – St John's Church and a Methodist chapel, four public houses and a Michelin-starred restaurant. There is also a craft centre and numerous sports facilities, including tennis and football. Excellent travel connections via Sheffield or along the nearby M1 motorway make for great convenience and for sending flowers to Ridgeway, for instance.
