Over Haddon is a picturesque village clinging to the top of the steep side of the Lathkill valley. It is a popular stopping point for weekend walkers in the Lathkill valley, though this has the disadvantage that to get to the village you must climb a very steep hill out of Lathkill Dale. The village has a pub called The Lathkill.
