Abney In Domesday, it was Habenai

Abney stands with Abney Grange, two hamlets a mile apart, set in a solitary world of moor and hill and wooded vale. From 1,000 feet above sea-level, Abney looks out to Shatton Moor nearly half as high again, and towards that proud knight of Derbyshire, Sir William Hill, over 1,400 feet high on Eyam Moor. On the moor are the remains of the Wet Withens, one of the county's several prehistoric stone circles. A lovely green hill is Abney Low, with two brooks flowing round it on their way to join the Derwent through rocky woodland and a charming glen. Whether we come to Abney or leave it, the road is sheer delight. One way we come by deep plantations to where the 16th century Highlow Hall stands near the road, a battlemented manor house now a farm, with a ball-topped gateway and a stone dovecot. Places to stay
