Reconstructing Palaeoenvironments of the White Peak Region of Derbyshire, Northern England
THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL Reconstructing Palaeoenvironments of the White Peak Region of Derbyshire, Northern England being a Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Hull by Simon John Kitcher MPhysGeog May 2014 Declaration I hereby declare that the work presented in this thesis is my own, except where otherwise stated, and that it has not been previously submitted in application for any other degree at any other educational institution in the United Kingdom or overseas. ii Abstract Sub-fossil pollen from Holocene tufa pool sediments is used to investigate middle – late Holocene environmental conditions in the White Peak region of the Derbyshire Peak District in northern England. The overall aim is to use pollen analysis to resolve the relative influence of climate and anthropogenic landscape disturbance on the cessation of tufa production at Lathkill Dale and Monsal Dale in the White Peak region of the Peak District using past vegetation cover as a proxy. Modern White Peak pollen – vegetation relationships are examined to aid semi- quantitative interpretation of sub-fossil pollen assemblages. Moss-polsters and vegetation surveys incorporating novel methodologies are used to produce new Relative Pollen Productivity Estimates (RPPE) for 6 tree taxa, and new association indices for 16 herb taxa. RPPE’s of Alnus, Fraxinus and Pinus were similar to those produced at other European sites; Betula values displaying similarity with other UK sites only. RPPE’s for Fagus and Corylus were significantly lower than at other European sites. Pollen taphonomy in woodland floor mosses in Derbyshire and East Yorkshire is investigated. -

Advisory Visit River Wye, Buxton Flyfishers Club, Derbyshire 17Th
Advisory Visit River Wye, Buxton Flyfishers Club, Derbyshire 17th March, 2009 1.0 Introduction This report is the output of a site visit undertaken by Tim Jacklin of the Wild Trout Trust on the River Wye near Buxton, Derbyshire on 17th March 2009. Comments in this report are based on observations on the day of the site visit and discussions with Paul Richardson of Buxton Flyfishers Club (BFFC), and David Percival, riverkeeper for Cressbrook & Litton Flyfishers Club (CLFFC) which controls the water immediately downstream of this reach. Normal convention is applied throughout the report with respect to bank identification, i.e. the banks are designated left hand bank (LHB) or right hand bank (RHB) whilst looking downstream. 2.0 Fishery Overview BFFC control the fishing on the River Wye between the footbridge at Blackwell Cottages (downstream limit, National Grid Reference SK 112727), and the bridge at the Devonshire Arms (Silverdale Plant Ltd.) (NGR SK 081724), a length of approximately 4 km. A schematic diagram of the river is shown in Figure 1. The water is owned by the Chatsworth Estate and leased to BFFC. The club has 24 members, and stocks 250 12-14” brown trout (diploid) per annum into the lower third of the fishery (downstream of Topley Pike car park). No stocking has taken place upstream of this point, nor any rainbow trout been introduced, for several years. The fishery contains excellent self- sustaining populations of brown and rainbow trout throughout, although it is felt that there is a predominance of small fish. The majority of BFFC members practise catch and release, and few fish are killed. -

Eastern Moors Peak District National Park Authority
www.peakdistrict.gov.uk 8: The Eastern Moors Peak District National Park Authority The Eastern Moors Higger Tor © Peak District National Park Authority Introduction The Eastern Moors is a sparsely settled area of gritstone uplands lying to the south-east of the Dark Peak plateau. 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. Moorland birch The Eastern Moors is an area of moorland and owes much of its and willow scrub, largely absent from the more exposed Dark Peak character to the underlying coarse sandstones from the Millstone Grit moorlands, occur locally, and birds such as woodcock, tree pipit and series of the Carboniferous period. As the process of sedimentation redpoll favour such areas. that formed the limestones of the White Peak was taking place, a land mass to the north (now Caledonia in Scotland) was shifting: uplifting, Gritstone rock outcrops on the moors occur either as massive folding and tilting towards the south. -

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. -
