イーストミッドランズの峡谷・トップ20

The car park is free for National Trust members. I love climbing but I don't like heights....confusing I know! I really enjoyed this short climb but I found myself on a small scramble which got my blood pumping a little!

Car park isn’t free but costs £6.60 for the day or £4 for 4 hours

Charming town, great museum about local history of lead mining

Odin Mine is the oldest documented lead mine in Derbyshire, the first recorded mention dating back to 1280. It's likely to pre-date this back as far as Roman, Saxon and even Danish times. The original open-cast workings created a limestone gorge which is now the entrance area. Near the gorge is the Odin Cave, a naturally formed void.

Getting very popular now with hikers

A peaceful escape into nature with ancient woodland, gurgling streams, and moss-covered rocks. The combination of the flowing brook, shaded woodland, and rugged gritstone edges creates a magical atmosphere, especially in the early morning or late afternoon light. The brook originates from Burbage Moor, flowing through the Longshaw Estate and into Padley Gorge. Its length is 6 km (3.7 miles) Winds its way over gritstone boulders and through heather-clad moorland. After a rainy period; you will find some small waterfalls. Padley Wood: You will find ancient oak and birch Trees – their twisted, moss-covered trunks create an otherworldly feel. For those interested in the fauna, you may spot some woodpeckers, nuthatches, and pied flycatchers. As for the flora: bluebells when in season; ferns and a lot of moss. Beware that the wood can get crowded at week-end. Paths get muddy after rainfall; make sure you have appropriate footwear.

Great views
