Warley Museum is a converted red telephone box in the centre of Warley village, transformed into a tiny museum of local history. Inside, you'll find etched glass panels depicting scenes from the area's past, an illustrated backboard on notable local figures, and a mosaic floor made from old pottery found in Warley gardens. Exhibits of local artefacts and curiosities, donated by residents, are changed every few months and can be viewed from both inside and outside the box. It suits anyone curious about quirky, small-scale local history stops. It's open from 8am to 4pm and sits within the Peak District, with Sowerby Bridge station 0.9 miles away and 48 bookable places to stay within 5 miles.
