Duddon

Type: Village

Once standing on the boundary of Delamere Forest, Duddon is a small, compact village with views to Beeston and Peckforton Hills.

Many cottages have been modernised and extended and the dwelling next to the village school was the first inn in the community. The present inn is said to be haunted and as such is named after a servant beheaded by Parliamentarian troopers for refusing to reveal the hiding place of her mistress's jewellery - the Headless Woman.
