  • Places to See and Visit

    Places to See and Visit

    Places to See and Visit When first prepared in 1995 I had prepared these notes for our cottages one mile down the road near Biggin Dale with the intention of providing information regarding local walks and cycle rides but has now expanded into advising as to my personal view of places to observe or visit, most of the places mentioned being within a 25 minutes drive. Just up the road is Heathcote Mere, at which it is well worth stopping briefly as you drive past. Turn right as you come out of the cottage, right up the steep hill, go past the Youth Hostel and it is at the cross-road. In summer people often stop to have picnics here and it is quite colourful in the months of June and July This Mere has existed since at least 1462. For many of the years since 1995, there have been pairs of coots living in the mere's vicinity. If you turn right at the cross roads and Mere, you are heading to Biggin, but after only a few hundred yards where the roads is at its lowest point you pass the entrance gate to the NT nature reserve known as Biggin Dale. On the picture of this dale you will see Cotterill Farm where we lived for 22 years until 2016. The walk through this dale, which is a nature reserve, heads after a 25/30 minute walk to the River Dove (There is also a right turn after 10 minutes to proceed along a bridleway initially – past a wonderful hipped roofed barn, i.e with a roof vaguely pyramid shaped - and then the quietest possible county lane back to Hartington).

    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.

  • The Ultimate Peak District & Derbyshire Bucket List

    The Ultimate Peak District & Derbyshire Bucket List

    The Ultimate Peak District & Derbyshire Bucket List: 101 Great Things To Do 1. Embrace the great outdoors in the UK’s first National Park Established in 1951, the Peak District is the country’s oldest National Park. If you love the outdoors, this protected area of natural beauty - which covers 555 square miles in total - offers over 200 square miles of stunning open access land to explore. 2. Visit the ‘jewel in the Peak District’s crown’ at Chatsworth House Home to the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, Chatsworth is one of the UK’s favourite stately homes. Discover over 30 magnificent rooms, a 105-acre garden, parkland, a farmyard and playground, and one of Britain’s best farm shops. 3. Conquer the tallest ‘Peak’ in the Peak District At 636 metres above sea level, you’ll feel like you’re standing on top of the world when you conquer the Kinder Scout plateau. It’s the highest point in the National Park and was also the site of the 1932 Mass Trespass, a landmark event which sparked a debate about the right to roam in the countryside, leading to the establishment of the Peak District as the first National Park two decades later. 4. Discover the UK’s oldest Ice Age cave art at Creswell Crags Walk in the footsteps of Ice Age hunters, uncover the secrets of early man, discover incredible Ice Age cave art and marvel at the UK’s largest discovery of ritual protection marks at this picturesque limestone gorge on the Derbyshire/Nottinghamshire border. 5.

It takes you along field paths and country lanes with magnificent views over the Staffordshire hills, then along the crest of Chrome Hill with panoramic views over the valley, before returning to your start point. Route Overview Category: Walking Rating: Unrated Surface: Rough Date Published: 22nd September 2020 Difficulty: Hard Length: 6.250 km / 3.91 mi Last Modified: 22nd September 2020 Description Introduction: Dragon’s Back Walk This wonderful walk starts and ends in the pretty little hamlet of Hollinsclough.
