The iconic Shining Cliff Hostel in Derbyshire is re-opening

January 18th 2019

The old Shining Cliff Youth Hostel has a new lease of life. With plans to reopen in March 2019.

Owned by the Grith Pioneers  since the 1930’s Shining Cliff Hostel was run by the YHA for many years, before they gave up the lease in 2011.  In 2012 the Lindley Educational Trust re-opened the hostel as an Independent Hostel and ran it for 6 years, for the use of groups.

In this latest lease of life the Iconic little hostel,  deep in the woods of the Derbyshire Dales,  will continue to be an Independent Hostel run as a private enterprise.  Watch this space for more news and opening dates.
