To the left of the bridge is Padley Gorge. This ancient woodland is one of the best examples of the old oak-birch woodland which once covered much of the Peak District. It's rich in wildlife and is carefully managed by the rangers.

With kids, you could probably spend hours around the brook here. Along with the other highlights around here, it makes for a great day out.
