  • Peak District Mines Historical Society Ltd
    Peak District Mines Historical Society Ltd. Newsletter No. 142 April 2012 The Observations and Discoveries; Their Tenth Birthday! In this Newsletter we depart from what has become tradition and do not have a normal issue of Peak District Mines Observations and Discoveries, but instead have an index of the first forty sets of notes; ten years on since the first, this seems a perfect time to do this. The onerous task of compiling this index has fallen to Adam Russell, who very kindly volunteered to do this without prompting from us. We are very grateful. When we started I don’t think we ever envisaged there would be so many notes and with failing memory there is an increasing need to have an index to help easily find the various jottings when we need to refer back to something. We also take this opportunity to thank the many people who have contributed notes over the years – these have enlivened the Observations and Discoveries no end. This said, we always need more – if you have found something new or interesting, explored a shaft people don’t often go down or entered a mine where there is no readily available description of what is there, please consider writing a short note. There are literally hundreds of mines in the Peak where we have no idea what lies below ground – most were presumably explored in the 60s or 70s but often nothing was written down, and a new generation is now having to reinvent the wheel. We were gratified to learn, from the Reader Survey on the content of the newsletter that Steve undertook last year, just how much you, the readers, appreciated these notes.

  • Review of Tufa Deposition and Palaeohydrological Conditions in the White Peak, Derbyshire, UK: Implications for Quaternary Landscape Evolution
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by NERC Open Research Archive Review of tufa deposition and palaeohydrological conditions in the White Peak, Derbyshire, UK: implications for Quaternary landscape evolution. Vanessa J. Banks1,2*, Peter F. Jones2, David J. Lowe1, Jonathan R. Lee1, Jeremy Rushton1, and Michael A. Ellis1. 1 British Geological Survey, Kingsley Dunham Centre, Nicker Hill, Keyworth, Nottingham NG12 5GG 2 University of Derby, Geographical, Earth and Environmental Sciences, Kedleston Road, Derby, DE22 1GB * Corresponding author. E‐mail address: [email protected] Abstract. This review considers the geological and geomorphological context of tufa barrages that occupy buried valley settings in the Wye catchment, Derbyshire. It describes the potential relationship of the tufa with locations of hypothesised river captures and inception horizon‐guided groundwater flow paths. Tufa barrage development is associated with steps in the bedrock, which may be related to knick‐point recession during river capture. Broad estimates of valley incision have been calculated from previously dated deposits. These support current interpretations of particularly significant effective base‐level lowering during the Anglian and Devensian stages of the Quaternary and have the potential to add to the knowledge of regional uplift histories. Key words: tufa, Quaternary hydrogeology, inception horizons, incision, landscape evolution. 1. Introduction. Tufa is a terrestrial freshwater accumulation of calcium carbonate (Viles, 2004) that is commonly found in limestone terrain. Also referred to as travertine by some authors (Pentecost, 1999), it is precipitated when water that is saturated with calcium carbonate becomes supersaturated due to degassing of carbon dioxide. This can be caused by: atmospheric absorption of carbon dioxide, increase in temperature, decrease in pressure, physical agitation, aquatic plant photosynthesis (Lorah and Herman, 1988), or microbial processes (Pedley and Rogerson, 2010).

  • Limestone Loop
    LIMESTONE LOOP These three. and. four day walking holidays are ideal for independent walkers wishing to explore some of England's finest scenery in the Peak District National Park. The walking is not strenuous, being mainly through the gentle limestone landscape of the "White Peak". The walk is designed to start from Buxton (easy to reach by car, rail or bus), with the three day version finishing at Bakewell (from where there are regular daily buses for the return to Buxton). However, if you have more time to spare, the four-day option allows time to explore the delightful town of Bakewell or to visit medieval Haddon Hall, followed by a superb walk back to Buxton. Buxton to Hartington 12 miles/19km .This is a pleasant walk, which takes in a comfortable walker's pub in Crowdicote en- route. From Buxton you will climb up the valley side below Grinlow, eventually dropping down to the road between Harpur Hill and the Leek-Buxton road. The path climbs Countess Cliff and heads south to Diamond Hill, so named for the clear pieces of quartz to be found here. The route then climbs Leap Edge to reach Dalehead. From here head for the village of Hollinsclough with its little chapel and pretty school (now replaced by a more functional building), then take a delightful stroll down the valley through Glutton Bridge to Crowdicote and the Packhorse Inn. Continue down the valley to Pilsbury Castle Hill then climb out of the valley avoiding the road. You will soon reach Hartington, where a short climb up Hall Bank brings you to the Youth Hostel.

The walk will commence at 7am. OUTLINE OF THE DAY 7am: Meet at Hartington, Peak District 7am - 7pm: Fully guided walk around the Derbyshire Six Dales Challenge Walk 7pm: Well deserved celebratory drink back at Hartington NB: Finish time is approximate THE WALK The Derbyshire Six Dales challenge walk is a beautiful route through six stunning limestone valleys in the heart of the Derbyshire Peak District. Starting and finishing in the lovely village of Hartington, the route takes in part of the High Peak Trail, the villages of Monyash, Youlgreave and Biggin, and six limestone dales including three National Nature Reserves of Lathkill Dale, Long Dale and Biggin Dale. It is a challenging walk with rough and uneven terrain in places, lots of stiles to cross as well as some streams and roads. The climbs are generally long and gradual over low hills and through deep valleys. Most of the walk follows clear paths, tracks and lanes along riversides, through valleys and woodland and across farmland. The terrain underfoot is predominantly limestone, which is slippery when wet; some of the paths are quite rocky in places, with scree and small boulders.

The limestone is cut by valleys, the ‘dales’, which contain a wide range of wildlife habitats, particularly woodland, scrub and grassland. This mosaic of habitats and the transitions between them are of exceptional interest for a wide range of characteristic, rare and uncommon flora and fauna. Peak District Dales includes one of the largest surviving areas in England of sheep’s-fescue – meadow oat-grass (Festuca ovina – Helictotrichon pratense) grassland. Grasslands at this site range from hard-grazed short turf through to tall herb-rich vegetation, with transitions through to calcareous scrub and ash Fraxinus excelsior-dominated woodland. Taken together the ash woods of the ravines and slopes of the Dales comprise one of the largest areas of this habitat in Great Britain.
