    Hiking

    Beautiful rock formations caused by the erosion of the gritstone tors. It feels almost other worldly walking amongst the Woolpacks, so called because they are said to resemble packs of wool from a distance.

    Hiking

    The Woolpacks area is great to explore, tricky in bad visibility and the peat bogs can be perilous, Excellent!!
