Derbyshire Gritstone Sheep I met this couple near Grinds Brook north of Edale. The Derbyshire Gritstone sheep is one of the oldest of British hill breeds. It is believed to have originated on the hills of the Dale of Goyt (now better known as the Goyt Valley) on the edge of the Peak District around the year 1770 and was known in its early years as the Dale O’Goyt sheep.
