イングランドの峡谷・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

Sturdy footwear recommended, we completed a 4 mile hike, with a couple of steep rock steps to walk up along the way. Other than the steps, the majority of paths are easily accessible. Can get busy when the weather is very good and if you’re lucky, you may get a treat and see the wild horses.

Beautiful valley but very busy!

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.

Usually pretty muddy during the winter, although there's been a mini board walk placed within luds church because it gets pretty swampy so is an easy walk through there, it's a pretty mystical place so definitely take your camera for a few snaps. Parking carefully as the road is used by large tractors as well as brewery visitors and hikers/walkers.

Beautiful to pass through, this place holds a lot of history. Be sure to take a walk on the Roaches Trail. You won't be disappointed by the naturally awe-inspiring, moist, moss-filled little ecosystem.

An awesome sight in winter
