Crowdecote (sometimes spelled Crowdicote) is a small village in Derbyshire, standing by the border between Derbyshire and Staffordshire about six miles south of Buxton.
It is thought that the name 'Crowdecote' derives from Cruda’s Cot, after an otherwise unknown landlord, Cruda; while 'cot' meant 'cottage' or 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.
