Wetton
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wetton is a small village in the Staffordshire Peak District. It gives its name to Wetton Mill (or Wettonmill), which is hamlet on the River Manifold, and Wetton Hill (grid reference SK104563), which are both in the care of the National Trust.
There are many burial chambers or mounds in the area, including those on Wetton Hill itself, at Wetton Low (1km S of the village), and at Long Low, some 2km SE of the village. There are also several campsites[citation needed] in the area offering superb access to the Manifold Valley.
Wetton was served by a railway station which was opened by the Leek and Manifold Valley Light Railway on June 27, 1904, whilst being entirely operated by the North Staffordshire Railway.
