  • The Edale Circular Walk a Cloudy Day in the Peak District Is Better Than a Sunny Day in the Office
    The Edale circular walk A cloudy day in the Peak District is better than a sunny day in the office. The Edale circular walk is a great walk and takes you via: Edale, the start of the Pennine Way, Upperbooth, Jacob’s ladder, Browne Knoll trig point, Rushop edge, Mam Tor, Hollins Cross and then back to Edale. Plan your day for this Edale Circular hike: Start/Parking: I always start at Edale car park. Grid ref 125854 (OS Explorer SL1). Enter S33 7ZA into your Sat Nav. As you reach Hope you should turn onto Edale road, after a few miles you’ll find the car park on the right just before you turn right into Edale village. The last time I visited (Nov 2013) the parking costs were £3.00 for 2 – 4 hours and £5 for over 4 hours - don't forget your £1 coins. Walk summary: I started the walk at 9.30am and got back to the car park at 2pm (4 ½ hours). I stopped a couple of times for a cuppa and a little lunch at Hollins Cross. The walk starts at 231m and the highest point is around 569m. There are a number of stys, rough tracks, steep hill climbs and steep descents - you have to be fit to attempt this walk. Guided walks: We have guides available for this edale circular walk to escort you on your walk. Our guides are very friendly, experienced hill walkers. They are also highly qualified first aiders. Obviously there is a charge for their time; the more there are of you the cheaper it will be.

  • Landscape-Strategy-Dark-Peak.Pdf
    www.peakdistrict.gov.uk 3: Dark Peak Peak District National Park Authority Dark Peak Dark Peak open moorland © Peak District National Park Authority Introduction The Dark Peak is a sparsely settled area of gritstone uplands lying at the southern end of the Pennine Hills. The area comprises an extensive upland plateau with steep gritstone slopes, sometimes with rocky edges, that drop away to lower lying slopes, wooded cloughs and deep valleys, some of which have been flooded to create large reservoirs. It contrasts sharply with the adjoining limestone uplands of the White Peak and is named on account of the dark hues created in the landscape by the peat moors and exposed gritstone. Whilst this landscape character area contrasts with the White Peak, the transition to other landscape character areas such as the Dark Peak Eastern and Western Fringe landscapes is much more gradual; these are landscapes of similar character but tend to be lower lying, more settled and more intensively managed than the Dark Peak with enclosed farmland rather than open moorland predominating. The Eastern Moors to the south-east of the Dark Peak are similar to it in character but lower lying with less deep peat creating a landscape that has been more obviously modified by people than the Dark Peak generally has. In the north, the moorland plateau of the Dark Peak continues into the Southern Pennines. 2 Landscape Strategy and Action Plan Peak District National Park Authority 3: Dark Peak such as the golden plover and the dunlin. On the lower moorland Physical influences slopes heather dominates, with varying amounts of bilberry, The Dark Peak is an extensive area of high moorland and adjacent cowberry and crowberry.

It provides a 55 mile waymarked circular route through dramatic scenery. From the head of the Ladybower reservoir, the route goes north alongside the Derwent and Howden reservoirs before crossing the moors to Langsett. Here it picks up the Trans-Pennine Trail to travel west to Glossop and the Pennine Bridleway. (Until completion of the Pennine Bridleway round Glossop, this entails 1/2 mile on a busy A road and 2 miles on a country road.) The Kinder Loop then goes south along the Pennine Bridleway to Rushup Edge, and then east via Mam Tor to Edale and back to the Ladybower and Derwent reservoirs.

Cover photographs A common perception of the Peak District karst hydrogeology is that it is dominated by sinking streams that feed caves which in turn discharge substantial flows of water from large springs such as Peak Cavern Rising (left). However, over much of the area where limestones crop out there is only dispersed autogenic recharge through a soil cover and surprisingly little evidence of karstic drainage, particularly at depth. During the excavation of stone from Ballidon Quarry in the southern White Peak no caves were encountered and the 100m of limestone exposure (right) shows only an epikarst below which there are no visible conduits and nothing to suggest concentrated drainage.

  • Dark Peak Boundary Walk
    DARK PEAK BOUNDARY WALK The title 'Boundary Walk' refers to the nature of the walk, a circuit of 80 miles around the fringes of three great moorland masses of Kinder Scout, Bleaklow and Black Hill that comprise the Dark Peak. The route is mainly high level but linking these sections a variety of terrain including bridleway tracks, field paths, sheltered wooded cloughs and numerous reservoirs will be encountered. The bleak and wild moors of the Dark ·Peak are never far away and often dominate the views. The route was completed to my satisfaction in November 1987 having been put together on occasional weekend trips over a couple of years. My intention was to create an enjoyable (hopefully) circular walk suitable for short hostelling/backpacking holidays. The entire route is covered by OS Sheet 110 (1:50,000) Sheffield and Huddersfield area. Route Outline From Sett Valley car park, Hayfield via Cracken Edge - South Head - Dimpus Gate Rushup Edge - Rowter Farm - Bradwell Moor - Bradwell. Abney Moor - Leadmill Bridge - Hathersage.

Some features are prominent and regionally or nationally important, for example Mam Tor. Other features seem insignificant in their own right, however their importance lies in what they tell us about the overall historic landscape of Edale. The earliest features date from prehistory. These include findspots of stone tools, most of which have been found eroding out of peat on the moorlands, later Neolithic/early Bronze age burial barrows and the later Bronze age/early Iron Age hillfort on Mam Tor. During the Medieval period the survey area was within the Royal Forest of the Peak.
