Crowdecote (sometimes spelled Crowdicote) is a small village on the border between Derbyshire and Staffordshire about 6 miles (9.7 km) south of Buxton. It is part of Hartington Middle Quarter civil parish. It is thought that the name Crowdecote derives from Cruda’s Cot (Cruda was a Saxon landowner while 'cot' meant a form of shelter). Crowdecote is popular with walkers and ramblers because of its proximity to Chrome Hill, High Wheeldon and Parkhouse Hill to the north and Dovedale to the south.
