Friends of the Peak District new offroading policy Friends of the Peak District has hardened its policy on offroading. Previously it took the position that 4x4s and motor bikes should be excluded only from green lanes which are particularly badly affected by offroading. It is now calling for offroading to be banned everywhere in the National Park. New legislation on offroading now on the agenda The campaign to change the law on offroading has been gathering pace and is having an impact. PHP and other organisations nationwide concerned about green lanes being trashed by 4x4s and motor bikes have been pressing for clauses to be added to the Deregulation Bill which would classify all unsealed unclassified county roads (UUCRs) as restricted byways. UUCRs are in effect green lanes but they are not on the Definitive Map as footpaths, bridleways, BOATs or restricted byways. On the OS map they are usually shown as Other Routes with Public Access (ORPAs). There are over 3,000 miles of green lanes like this in England and the unsurfaced routes in the Peak District being used by 4x4s and motor bikes are of this type. The effort to amend the Deregulation Bill is paying dividends. The campaign made sure that the Horses win Joint Parliamentary Scrutiny committee which examined the Bill at the end of last year received more evidence on the problem of motor vehicle use of green lanes than on any other aspect war against of the Bill. The Committee took notice, recognised that there is a serious problem and in its published report called on the government to take action and find a solution. gamers Next up was a debate in March in the House of Commons Committee which examined the A long-running attempt Bill.

    The 1717 Guide Stoop on Longstone Edge. Is It Missing?

    The 1717 Guide Stoop on Longstone Edge. Is it missing? Ann Hall with valuable assistance from Alan Jones Introduction When Alison Stuart was preparing to move out of her family home at Christmas Cottage in Little Longstone shortly after Michael's death in 2012, she asked Hillary Clarke and I to help with finding the most appropriate home for papers that he had collected during his historical research. As we worked through a lifetime's work on many topics of local interest we came upon a photocopy of a guide stoop. Hilary recognised it as the one from Longstone Edge and I became interested to find out more. This article is the result of my investigations. Some of my chief sources of information were from books which describe rambles through Derbyshire in a rather romantic manner in the first half of the nineteenth century. They were not intended to be full scientific records of features along the way but rather a description of interesting walks and fascinating items along the route. The record in the books is not always reliable but I have tried to extract as much sound information as I can. There are records of a guide stoop, dated 1717, on Longstone Edge since 1905. Some of the earlier information is quite detailed and this suggests that it really was in existence at Page 2 of 5 Guide Stoop on Longstone Edge the time of the recording. In more recent reports it is listed as missing. My recent research intended to find out if it really is lost for ever.

    The Cressbrook Dale Lava and Litton Tuff, between Longstone and Hucklow Edges, Derbyshire John Hunter and Richard Shaw Abstract: With only a small exposure near the head of its eponymous dale, the Cressbrook Dale Lava is the least exposed of the major lava flows interbedded within the Carboniferous platform- carbonate succession of the Derbyshire Peak District. It underlies a large area of the limestone plateau between Longstone Edge and the Eyam and Hucklow edges. The recent closure of all of the quarries and underground mines in this area provided a stimulus to locate and compile the existing subsurface information relating to the lava-field and, supplemented by airborne geophysical survey results, to use these data to interpret the buried volcanic landscape. The same sub-surface data-set is used to interpret the spatial distribution of the overlying Litton Tuff. Within the regional north-south crustal extension that survey indicate that the outcrops of igneous rocks in affected central and northern Britain on the north side the White Peak are only part of a much larger volcanic of the Wales-Brabant High during the early part of the field, most of which is concealed at depth beneath Carboniferous, a province of subsiding platforms, tilt- Millstone Grit and Coal Measures farther east.

The area is a continuation of these Dark Peak uplands but the broad, upland plateau character associated with the Dark Peak alters to a somewhat lower landscape with a narrower moorland top and main western shelf, and a greater proportion of enclosed moorland. Edges are a characteristic of the area, mostly running along the north-south axis of the Moor’s western edge. This is an elevated landscape that drops away to the Derwent Valley to the west, the Derbyshire Peak Fringe to the south and the Yorkshire Peak Fringe to the east. The Eastern Moors provides a number of vantage points over the city of Sheffield in the lower lying eastern landscape. 2 Landscape Strategy and Action Plan Peak District National Park Authority 8: The Eastern Moors dominated by purple moor grass occur in places and may reflect Physical influences past heavy grazing or even agricultural treatment.

The original, tight knit part of the village is centred around the Cross Photo needed here monument where a hairdressers is located. Calver has evidence of an early Anglo-Saxon settlement with lead mining and lime burning the start of industry in the village. A thriving cotton mill, first built in 1785 and rebuilt in 1805, is now luxury flats with important parts listed. The Weir which fed the mill is now a Scheduled Ancient Monument. The Conservation area was designated in 1998. The Conservation Area Appraisal describes Calver, originally, as a farming community and as an important crossing point over the River Derwent. The 18th and 19th centuries saw the village develop in response to the importance of the river crossing and the arrival of coaching inns and public houses to serve travellers and employment provided in the nearby lead mines and limekilns. The village of Calver is located at the junction of two landscape characters, the majority of the village is within the limestone hills and slopes of the White Peak character area and the land around the Derwent River part of the slopes and valleys with woodlands of the Derwent Valley as described in the Peak District Landscape Characteristic Assessment (LSAP 2009).

The ‘Sheffield Moors’ is a collective name for a group of adjoining upland, and predominantly moorland sites that are all in public or charitable ownership. Collectively, they provide an amazing and very accessible landscape for people and wildlife across some 21 square miles of the Peak District National Park and very close to Sheffield, the fourth largest City in England. The landscape is ancient and dramatic, and can provide a true sense of wilderness and quiet enjoyment, despite its closeness to Sheffield. At the same time, this is a popular place for many different types of access and recreation, attracting over a million visits per year, with more active outdoor pursuits like mountain-biking growing in popularity.
