SUSS) “Very well done with the Neil Moss film, I was captivated from beginning to end! “ (M.B. BPC) “What a superb piece of film….I am now in my 85th year and memories came flooding back - I would dearly wish to see all the old folks and share a pint or two.” (J.L. Spain) “……fascinating and well worth the wait!” (J.H. Peak Cavern) “Brilliant, riveting! Should be on mainstream TV!” (F.B. CCC) “…the first account since George Cooper's articles that has offered any sensible and objective account of the events. Impressed.” (J.Mc. Safariquip) “…a well-researched, evocative film, packed with interviews from surviving participants and images taken at the time….a very creditable thought-provoking film….” A.J. “The standard of the filming is better than many professionally produced documentary films seen currently on TV, and (his) knowledge of his subject matter and feel for the story have produced a film which deserves a wider audience than just the caving world.” J.P. (DCA) “…a well researched DVD (which) gives a vivid and thought-provoking impression of the trip and the rescue attempts and their ultimate failure. It also asks the question, would the outcome be the same today?” (R.H. CPC) The story of the attempted rescue of Neil Moss from Peak Cavern in March 1959. DVD 50 mins.

  • Castleton Parish Statement (Draft)
    Castleton Parish Statement (draft) Introduction Castleton is a vibrant village in the heart of the magnificent Peak District National Park. It has a rich blend of history in the centre of one of the most popular locations for walkers, whether they are casual walkers or experienced fell trekkers. There is a range of pubs, cafes, and other eating places to suit everyone's tastes during and at the end of an active day. Geography Castleton village is situated at the head of the Hope Valley. It straddles the white peak (limestone to the south) and the dark peak (millstone grit to the north). It is right at the heart of some of the most attractive scenery in the Peak District National Park (PDNP). Mam Tor and Lose Hill look down on the village and the iconic Winnats Pass which is on one of two roads in/out of the village. Winnats Pass provides access to the west – Buxton, Chapel-en-le- Frith, Manchester and Manchester Airport. The other road in/out of Castleton is down the Hope Valley to Hope village, Hathersage, Sheffield and Derby. Castleton Parish Statement (draft) History Looking down on Castleton is Peveril Castle which dates from the 11th Century and was built to protect the local lead mining and hunting. Lead mining was carried out by the Romans. A small settlement (Pechesers) was recorded at Peak Cavern in 1086 (The Domesday Book) and the planned village was probably laid out in the 12th century. Villagers There are between 500 and 600 permanent residents, there are many elderly residents and only a few families with children.

Abstract Non-destructive geophysical imaging techniques have been applied to the sedimentary deposits within the reputedly largest cave entrance chamber in Western Europe. The Vestibule of Peak Cavern is thought to have been the site of human habitation since the Late Palaeolithic. The depth to the cave floor and the sedimentology and archaeology of the cave fill was uncertain. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is shown to produce good quality images of dry cave deposits and underlying limestone cave floors. The GPR images show the sedimentological and archaeological distribution of the cave-fill, identify buried ‘houses’ and allow the mostly buried cave floor to be mapped. GPR and ground resistivity images are combined with a Total Station survey of cave topography in a 3D Computer Aided Design (CAD) model.

  • 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.

  • Chapter XXIII. the Lower Carboniferous Rocks of Derbyshire
    CHAPTER XXIII. THE LOWER CARBONIFEROUS ROCKS OF DERBYSHIRE. By H. H. ARNOLD BEMROSE, Sc.D., F.G.S. EXCURSIONS TO THE DISTRICT. GLANCE at the records of the three excursions which the A Association has made in Derbyshire shows that the main object was to examine the lower Carboniferous Rocks of the County. Though the same places were visited during two or three of the excursions, the references to maps, books, and papers became more numerous on each visit, and now form a record of the advances made in the investigation of the geology of the County. The first excursion of the Association to Derbyshire was in 1877. On July zand, and during the five following days, the members were led by the Rev. J. M. Mello and Mr. Rooke Pennington (Proc. Ceol. Assoc., vol. v, p. 186). They visited the coalpits of the Clay Cross Company, the Creswell Caves, Miller's Dale, Buxton, and Kinder Scout. The second excursion extended from August and to the oth, 1899 (Proc. Ceol. Assoc., vol. xvi, p. 221). A sketch of the geology of the lower Carboniferous Rocks of Derbyshire (which, as a separate publication, is now out of print) was written by the author of this article. The Directors were Mr. H. Arnold Bemrose, Dr. Wheelton Hind, and Messrs. J. Barnes and G. E. Coke. The number of members attending the excursion varied from fifty-two to sixty-nine, and the headquarters were at the Roval Hotel, Matlock, Bath. 'Thirty-eight persons went down the Mill Close Lead Mine on August znd, 1899.

Ordnance Survey Sheet 1:50,000: 110 1:10,000: SK 08 SE, SK 18 SW, SK 18 SE Date Notified (Under 1949 Act): 1954 Date of Last Revision: 1972 Date Notified (Under 1981 Act): 1987 Date of Last Revision: – Other Information: Site boundary alteration (extension & reduction). Site includes former site known as 'Eldon Hole, Eldon Hill'. Description and Reasons for Notification: This site is at the northernmost limit of the Carboniferous limestone in the Peak District at the Junction with the shales and sandstones of the Millstone Grit which outcrop at Mam Tor. The area extends for some 5 km between Castleton in the east to Perryfoot in the west and forms one of the most important sites in Britain for the earth sciences containing many features of geological and landform interest. These include the spectacular gorge of Winnats Pass, the largest natural entrance of any cave in Britain at Peak Cavern, and the impressive landslip features of Mam Tor. Underground, the area has some of the most important cave systems in Britain with more than 15 km of passages and a series of sinkholes, including the famous Eldon Hole. Parts of the area, most notably at Winnats Pass and Cave Dale are of special interest on account of their species-rich limestone grasslands and rock-ledge plant communities.

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.
