Advice on Possible Move to Peak District

[RAS]

We a thinking of moving from Bucks to one of the villages in the Southern Peak District and would like some advice regarding what its really like living there in the winter.

Over the years we have visited many times during good weather when the scenery is stunning, but we are wondering how cold and bleak it can be during the winter and in inclement weather.

We want to move to or close to a small village or hamlet, so we are close to a community and currently we are thinking of North West of Ashbourne around the Wetton, Grindon, Onecote area.
This is an area we are not familiar with, but are hoping to get up there this weekend to see what it is like.

I am Bucks born and bread, so this is a very big move for me and I don't want to get it wrong.

Any advice guidance or views and experiences of any one who has moved into the area from the South would be appreciated.

Also and very important how TVR friendly are the roads and lanes, especially in winter?

Many thanks,
A Softie Southerner
