Snowy Sheldon

Sheldon saw some spectacular snowfall over the past week, leading to the village being cut-off for approximately 48 hours! Things are slowly getting back to normal now, with snowdrifts being the only major hazard on the roads. We understand that all roads into the village are now open, but that the back road to Chelmorton is still suffering from fairly significant drifting.

Several of the footpaths in and around the village are also covered by significant snow drifts, up to two metres deep in places. As such, many of the drystone walls and gateways are totally covered with snow. Whilst it is possible to walk over these drifts, and therefore over the walls and gates, we would ask that you refrain from doing so as the walls and gates are likely to become damaged.

If you have any photographs of the village that you’d like to share, please contact us.
