Here's more information about Brackenfield should you be interested in visiting:

History

Originally known as Brackenthwaite, which probably meant “a bracken clearing.” The suffix -thwaite is normally used in the northern areas which makes it unusual in the area where the Brackenfield is located. What it does point out, however, is that there might have been a small colony of Norsemen or Norwegians in the area, separate from the Danish incursion. Later on, the village became known as Brackenfeld then Brackenfield.  

Attractions

There are several attractions you can visit around Brackenfield, and these include:

Ogston Reservoir – described as a haven for birdwatchers, the reservoir is surrounded by woodlands, fields, scrub and grassland and attracts a number of wading birds when the water level drops around late summer and autumn. This is one of the best sites to observe rare species of gull. The Ogston Bird Club offers guided bird walks if you're interested.

Wingfield Manor – these are the ruins of a palatial medieval manor house which features an undercrofted Great Hall and a defensible High Tower. The manor was built in the 1440s for Ralpph, Lord Cromwell, Treasurer of  England. It was later home to the Earl of Shrewsbury who imprisoned Mary Queen of Scots here on three separate occasions.
 
Peak District Mining Museum – located at Matlock Bath, this is where you'll learn about the history of the lead mining industry. The museum is a mockup of a lead mine where visitors learn how miners, including children, were used during the industrial boom in England. You can take a guided tour and enjoy a range of activities in the museum.
