It is divided into nine major parts to allow easy access to different aspects of the information. Part 1 is a summary of the types and the date of archaeological features identified. Use this section for an overview of the archaeological features within the survey area. Part 2 is a description of the farm field boundaries. Use this section for an overview of the existing field system. Part 3 discusses changes in land use over time, based on the sites identified on the ground and from basic documentary work. Use this section for an outline of the development through time of the survey area as an archaeological landscape and tor assessing the archaeological character of different parts of the area surveyed. Part 4 is the maps showing all the archaeological features recognised by the survey. Use this section to find out the locations of sites within the survey area. Part 5 is the catalogue, listing all the archaeological features discovered by the survey. Use this section for detailed description and an interpretation of each site. Part 6 is an assessment of relative importance. Use this section as a guide to the importance of individual archaeological features in the survey area. Part 7 is an outline guide to managing archaeological features. Use this section for general suggestions on how archaeology can be managed in the landscape without undue interference with usual land management practice. Part 8 is a glossary. Use this section for definitions of archaeological terms used in the report. Part 9 is a bibliography of published and archive documents consulted in the writing of this report. Use this section if more background or detailed information on the types of site found within the survey area is required. In addition, in the Appendices there is a description of all the archive material produced in conjunction with the survey and where it is kept, and a note of how the survey information was recorded. iii CROOKHILL FARM, HOPE WOODLANDS, DERBYSHIRE ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY 1994 John Barnatt The archaeological survey of this area was carried out in September 1994, for the Upper Derwent Officer Working Group as part of the Upper Derwent Survey Project. Survey comprised systematic search of the farm (fig. 1), and discoveries were sketch-plotted on an OS 1:2500 base (the Board's Phase 1 survey standard). Time did not allow extensive archive research to be undertaken, thus this report should not be taken as a history of the farm, but one that largely concentrates on the extant archaeology. Maps showing the extent of the survey area covered by this report are given in Part 4. The interpretations of the archaeology given in this report are provisional. They are based on the knowledge available at the time of writing. Additions and some alterations may be made to these interpretations when survey work for the whole of the Upper Derwent Survey Project area and more in-depth documentary research is completed. Any such changes will be provided after completion of the whole project. 1 PROJECT KEY C({oov<HILL FRRm' koPf UX<lblft•DS Loca.'+ 0 bn Croof;.h.:t\ f'cJ'TY1' AR.cJ4AEowG;1C.AL SJ~VD< 144!;- 3 ILLUSTRATION NO.

None of the buildings are Listed. The 1994 survey recorded 6 newly-identified nationally or regionally important features, comprising a stone circle or kerb cairn (feature 6), 2-3 barrows (features 11, 12, 16), a medieval or early post-medieval building site (feature 27), and the present farm building complex (feature 1). A further 21 locally important archaeological features and 4 groups of buildings were recorded, none of which had been previously entered in the SMR. The farm has been acquired by the National Trust relatively recently so was not covered by the in­ house archaeological survey carried out in 1987. Features of National and Regional Importance A number of important archaeological features exist on the farm that are of a variety of dates. All the pre-medieval sites occur on the higher ground flanking Crook Hill where there has been less later agricultural activity than on lower ground to the east. Early features that do survive are isolated from each other and comprise an unusual small stone circle (feature 6) and 2-3 barrows (features 11, 12, 16), one of which may alternatively be interpreted as a clearance cairn (feature 12). Generally medieval and post-medieval agricultural activity may well have destroyed surface evidence for earlier agricultural structures such as house platforms, clearance cairns and field boundary banks and lynchets which were probably associated with the Bronze Age ritual monuments. Important medieval and post-medieval remains include the farm buildings themselves (feature 1). The present buildings date mostly from the 19th century, but there has been a farm here since at least the 12th century. This was part of a monastic holding from the late 12th century and there may have been administrative grange buildings here. Above Hursthead Cote there is a platform for a medieval or early post-medieval timber building (feature 27) associated with the intake here. The buildings are complemented by the field layout defined by boundaries dating from the medieval period onwards (see below). Features of Local Importance The majority of archaeological features of local importance within the surveyed area are of post-medieval date. The only exceptions are the possible medieval platform in the farmyard (feature 2) and two clearance cairns which may be as early as the Bronze Age, although one of these is more likely to be relatively modern (features 13, 18). Of the post-medieval features, many are redundant structures related to past farming, including old boundaries (features 5, 8, 17, 19, 23, 26, 29, 30), fieldbarns (features 14, 24, 25), stone troughs (features 2, 25), a wall opening (feature 7), a wall builders quarry (feature 15) and cairn (feature 10) and access tracks (features 20, 22, 28). There are a large number of small wall builders quarries which are not individually catalogued in Part 5, but which are shown on the survey area maps. There are also hollow ways which link farms (features 3, 4, 21), and a possible charcoal burners platform (feature 9). 2 PART2 CROOKHILL FARM: FIELD BOUNDARIES While field boundaries are very much part of the archaeology of an area, they are not easily listed in a catalogue because of their number and nature. Individually they may superficially seem of limited archaeological value, but put together they are of crucial importance in defining the character of the archaeological landscape. Those field boundaries comprising the currently used field system, even when ruined but shown on the 1880 Ordnance Survey map, are not included in the catalogue of sites given below (Part 5). Due to this, and the archaeological importance of field boundaries in the landscape, the field system is described here. The currently used boundaries on the farm are all dry-stone walls, and these are mostly of similar construction and use the local Millstone Grit. There is some wall furniture built into the boundaries. Most common are stone gate posts and sheep throughs. A small wall opening of unknown function has been found near to the farmhouse (feature 7). Boundaries of other types also once existed as illustrated by the redundant banks and ditches found at features 5 and 19.

  • 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.

  • Hagg Side and Crook Hill Estimated Time: 2:30 Hours Ordnance Survey 1:50,000 Map Sheet(S): 110
    Difficulty level: 2 (1 to 5 scale - 1 is easy) Distance: 9.00 km Ascent: 300m Hagg Side and Crook Hill Estimated time: 2:30 hours Ordnance Survey 1:50,000 map sheet(s): 110 This is a fairly short walk which follows a ridge between two arms of Ladybower Reservoir. It offers spectacular views of Ladybower and Derwent Edge, and also excellent views of Lose Hill and Win Hill. It starts and finishes at Fairholmes, the visitor centre at the north end of Ladybower. There is ample parking here and a bus service from Sheffield. You could combine this walk with our Derwent Edge walk to make a really long day (about 6 hours) and a complete circuit of the upper arm of Ladybower reservoir. Details at the end of this description. Ladybower from Lockerbrook Walk out of Fairholmes along the road back towards Ashopton and a few metres to the south a path branches off into the woods. Take this path, which follows a stream initially and then strikes off to the right, crossing by a small bridge the conduit which brings water from the Ashop river and climbing steadily up through the forest. Half-way up it meets a forest road - follow this round a large bend and then take the path which turns off left back into the forest. Towards the top the path has been re-routed to avoid the Lockerbrook farmhouse and it makes a sharp detour right before crossing a field and emerging on the old bridle path above Lockerbrook. Turn left and head down to the former farm, which now belongs to the Woodcraft Folk.

  • Cycling in the Peak District
    CYCLING IN THE PEAK DISTRICT About the Author Chiz Dakin’s cycle touring adventures almost happened by accident, when after a local photography trip by bike she realised that she’d done 50 miles in a single day with a reasonably heavy load. This led to the disconnected logic that if she could do that once, she was now ready to tackle multi-day cycle touring, and two weeks later set out on the Land’s End to John o’ Groats route. Since then she’s done several other multi-day trips including a pio- neering Welsh coast cycle route (600 miles and 16km of ascent) but still maintains that you don’t need to be seriously fit or fast to enjoy long multi- day routes. (She certainly makes no claim to being either!) She has pre- viously won an Outdoor Writers and Photographers Guild award for her photography.

  • The Whitworth and Wardle Moorland
    The Whitworth and Wardle Moorland A Gazeteer Of Sites Rob Bond 1 INTRODUCTION Some time ago I had the pleasure of sketching (with words) those curious features that occur upon the moorland between the historic villages of Whitworth and Wardle. This was my childhood playground. I lived in Syke, on the very edge of the moors and every evening and holiday would be spent on the rocks of Brow Edge and Rushy Hill, the brooks of Nab, the high table-top of Brown Wardle, the delights of Watergrove valley or as a special treat, a day long hike to the dark mysterious waterfalls of Healey Dell. Years later I moved to Whitworth and whilst the Eastern Moorland was always my favourite, I began to explore the Western Hills. The vacant quarries and bleak ruins spoke a different language to the pastoral plains of the east yet they fascinated too. Thus it has come to pass that now I must complete my chronicle and catalogue as many features of interest of the hills and valleys that surround the village of Whitworth: from Stoney Heys and Healey in the south, to Cowm and Knowsley in the north, from Bagden in the west to Watergrove and Crook Moor in the east. ****** This book is published as a digital download. Once saved to your computer you may freely print off sections as you need them for exploration and guided walks etc. Please use the page numbers as reference for printing.

Further three-day surveys were also being carried out in autumn/winter 2005-06, but the returns for these were not available at the time of writing this Audience Development Plan. Groups of visitors were randomly selected and asked ten questions in face-to- face interviews. Respondents were also given post-back questionnaires to fill in at home, containing a further 28 questions. The face-to-face questions all related to audience profile, while the post-back questions included some profile questions but also explored various aspects of the visitor experience. Altogether, 350 groups of visitors were interviewed. About half these respondents also returned post-back questionnaires. The Audience Development Plan sample At the time of writing this Audience Development Plan, the data from the PDNP survey had not been processed or analysed, but we were given access to the filled-in survey forms. We processed a sample of 100 face-to-face interviews with matched post-back questionnaires (35 Saturday visitors, 35 Sunday, 30 weekday) and 50 face-to-face interviews with respondents who did not return post-back questionnaires (15 Saturday visitors, 20 Sunday, 15 weekday).
