Is Hartington Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel

I went to Hartington for 3 days on August 2022. Took the train from Birmingham to Derby and then a bus to Ashbourne and then a final bus to the little town of Hartington. I used google maps to figure out the route and worked just fine ! I stayed at the YHA (youth hostel) although I was the only youth, most visitors being families or groups of seniors 😅 The food was good but expensive as the town is very little. There is a coffee shop but I don’t remember any shops or mini markets, which makes eating out the only (and expensive) option. I spent 3 days walking different trails around the town. I downloaded AllTrails and used that as my map. The goal was to hike on my own, and I did very much that. On the smaller trails, or when I was close enough to town, I ran into a few people (usually seniors or families). Besides that, I was pretty much on my own and felt completely safe even though I’m a WOC (Peruvian, dark hair and olive skin, very much in contrast with locals).
