Brassington has many cottages that date back to the 17th and 18th centuries, with Tudor House, built in 1615, being one of the oldest.
Brassington was for centuries dependent on lead mining. The rough ground to the east, west and north has the hillocks and hollows of hundreds of abandoned mines; there are also remains of the miners' buildings on some of the sites.

A decent longish climb up through Brassington to Longcliffe. Pretty steep through the village then keeps on giving as you leave!

I always seem to hit this climb when I've already got plenty of miles in my legs! So it's always a challenge but a measured pace is key. Road surface is good and there's enough room for cars to get past you and not be breathing down your neck. 😉
