    Tips

    Hiking

    The Peak District doesn’t have the high mountains of the Lakes and Snowdonia, but it does have some hidden gems. Alport Castles is one of my favourites. The remains of a landslip, it’s a wonderfully quiet and strange place of rocky cliffs and towers. A great walk from Ladybower Reservoir.

    Nice steady walk from Alport ford up to the top of the castles where you can see some excellent long range views.
