The feedback on our preliminary plans was very positive and we have since been finalising our planning application. The drawings for the application are nearly complete. We have recently been working on a flood risk assessment, which is required for the application and the submission will be made shortly. Phase 2 We are still planning for a phase 2 development for the existing Pavilion build- ing. Items we hope to address in this second phase are: Building fabric repairs Toilet and washroom refurbishment Kitchen enhancements and possible extension Window and door refurbishment / replacement Help us Achieve Funding for our Development If you wish to help towards this development, these are several ways to donate: You can fill in a form which accompanied a past Grindleford News, include a cheque and return to the address shown You can also download a copy of the form from the website grindle- ford.com and follow the instructions If you wish you can talk to any one of the Grindleford Playing Fields Com- mittee, including John Morton, Tony Duncan, Steve Benn, Phil Haywood, Lionel Stout, Steven Blowen, Anton Cannell, Frank Galbraith, Larry Har- foot, David Haywood, Matt Heason, Neil Ireson, Tim Reynolds & Liz Tiplady.

Could you be interested in being part of a ‘Friends of Grindleford Station’ group? Such a group could work towards specific improvements and identify the measures that would encourage more people to use the line. The Hope Val- ley Railway Users Group campaigns for an hourly stopping service along our line. Check their website: hopevalleyrailway.org.uk. Travelling round the country by train, it is evident which stations benefit from a bit of extra care: starting a Friends group could help make Grindleford seem a more alluring destination as well as giving regular train users a bit of cheer. I’m sure there would be interest in a leaflet of local walks from the station; we could explore improving the appearance of the station area with bulbs, fruit, veg, herbs growing in tubs. Some stations have space for a book swop scheme. What ideas do you have? Maybe a local group or family could sponsor a flower tub? Have you noticed the art work that has been put up by High Peak Community Arts Project Earth programme? Maybe we should have an Information board detailing local attractions and facilities, hotels, the community shop and taxis? There are, of course, limits of what can be done at rail- way stations as safety has to be paramount and these are set by the Train Oper- ating Companies and Net- work Rail. I wondered if we could kick start ideas for a group by meeting at the station on Saturday March 4th at 10.30am. If it’s wet we can share ideas over a brew at the station café. If you can’t make this but would like to pass on your ideas my email is [email protected]. Kay Allinson 4 Grindleford Horticultural Society Happy gardening in 2017!

    FRESHWALKS PRIVATE CORPORATE EVENTS • Employee engagement • Team building • Client hospitality • Creative and strategy days “ Go to a footie match, half the people are into the football, the other half are wondering why they are there. Go to a dinner, you get to talk to two people until you have bored them to death and they wander off to sit with their buddies. Go ‘freshwalking’ and you have a common purpose. You get each other up that hill and across that bog and down the other side. On the way, you talk for a while, drift off and find yourself in another conversation or even continue a conversation that you started a couple of months ago.” 02 | Freshwalks Private INTRODUCTION Glorious scenery Freshwalks Private events are a blend of full-blooded exercise, and back to nature hiking across glorious countryside and hills, deep conversations and some decent pub food after too.

  • 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.

  • National Park Management Plan 2018-2023
    Peak District National Park Management Plan 2018-23 National Park Management Plan Peak District National Park Authority, Aldern House Baslow Road, Bakewell, DE45 1AE tel: 01629 816200 email: [email protected] www.peakdistrict.gov.uk 2 Peak District National Park Management Plan 2018-23 Foreword The Peak District National Park plays a special role well beyond its borders. It is of international, national, regional, and local importance. As well as providing a breathing space and opportunities for learning, discovery and enjoyment for millions of people, the designation of National Parks is because of their spectacular landscapes, wildlife and cultural heritage - the ‘special qualities’ that make them so important. The management plan is a framework that aims to encourage everyone to work together to conserve and enhance the special qualities for the benefit of all. It is not a plan for an individual organisation or group but a plan for the place. It is, therefore, a partnership plan. It describes for everyone what the main issues and priorities are. It then sets out how, together, we are going to tackle those issues over the next five years. One of the great successes of the previous management plan was that it brought together a diverse range of stakeholders who delivered some amazing work. These included restoring thousands of hectares of important habitat, introducing new audiences to the Peak District National Park, helping local communities to deliver essential services and assisting businesses to grow sustainably. During this management plan period fresh challenges have emerged through the nation’s pending departure from the European Union alongside developing ideas in how we should manage protected landscapes.

  • Edale-Scenic-01.Pdf
    Edale Station Scenic Circular Let's Go Peak District Route Summary Edale circular from the train station, taking in Upper Booth, Rushup Edge and Mam Tor Route Overview Category: Walking Length: 12.150 km / 7.59 mi Last Modified: 7th June 2019 Difficulty: Medium Rating: Unrated Surface: Moderate Date Published: 1st June 2019 Description Introduction There’s no question that this circular walk is challenging in places, but it shows off some of the most spectacular views in the Peak District and definitely repays the effort. For a true countryside day out that gives you a real taste of this part of the world, it’s hard to beat. You follow the Pennine Way out of the village of Edale, with stunning views all across the Edale Valley, and then follow farm trails through the lovely hamlet of Upper Booth up on to Rushup Edge. From the summit of Mam Tor you walk along the iconic Great Ridge to Hollins Cross, and then down on hill trails and country lanes back to Edale. The walk starts and ends at Edale train station (S33 7ZP, SK 12312) so it’s easily accessible by public transport. This is a walk of just over 7.5 miles. The terrain is rocky and very uneven in places, and there are a few steep ascents. There are stiles, squeeze stiles and narrow footbridges. There are pubs and cafés in Edale, but no other refreshment stops on the way, unless you’re lucky enough to catch ice creams for sale at Upper Booth Farm. Allow 5-6 hours to complete this walk at a moderate pace, allowing for rest stops to take in the views.
