フラッグでの 周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Stopped to get a few pics, noticed this pub has a bike repair station! What a place. Didn't get to go in as they were still closed, but if you ever out this way and you need to tighten your seat :) Really nice to see a local business supporting the biking community. Will be popping back for a meal and thanking the owner for putting aside a small area for bike lockup and a tool station.

Looks very inviting

I would respectfully note that this cave is not the easiest to access. https://delta-exploits.net/

Saved me in bad weather, friendly and warm

High quality food in a popular pub

Cosy pub. Definitely worth dropping in for a pint.

Known as "Illy-Willy Water" this spring was the source of Chelmorton's water until the late 19th century.

A popular pub, serving great food and drink 🍻

Highest church in Derbyshire- cool! The weathervane is a Locust!

Good grub and great bike parking, just off the High Peak Trail. The pub welcomes all outdoorsy folk. There are also bike tools available in the bike parking area which is super useful.

Great cake & coffee with excellent service

Wonderful using the lawn in front of the café on a nice day, café and neighbouring popular with riders of all sorts of bikes

Very nice pub!!

Really good campsite is available behind the pub.

According to the notice board, this spring used to be the water supply for the village of Chelmorton. It was known as the Illy Willy Water and lies at the head of Grove Rake, an important lead mining site.

Such a beautiful walk dottted with an industrial history

The normal path is closed till 2026 so a trek along the edge was our favoured route,bit duct for the younger or faint hearted but most e joys le from my end

Not to be confused with the other Deep Dale, 4 miles (6.4 km) to the east near Sheldon, this Deep Dale is a short, yet steep-sided limestone gorge not far from the market town of Buxton. A protected nature reserve, its mix of yew, ash, whitebeam and hazel is a riot of colour in spring, when wildflowers bloom. At the head of the gorge is Thirst House Cave, the site of some interesting historical discoveries. A bear’s skull was found by local boys towards the end of the 19th century, leading to further excavations. Bronze jewellery, pottery fragments, enamelled brooches and coins were discovered, all from Roman times. Much of the hoard is now on display in Buxton Museum.

Chelmorton is the highest village in Derbyshire, standing proud at 1,200 feet (366 m). It is a quintessential White Peak settlement, full of the olde worlde charm of its classic limestone walls and beautiful surroundings. It’s a marvellous base for exploring the Peak District. Various trails radiate out from the village and it’s not too far to walk to some of the Middle Earth-esque scenery the White Peak is famous for. There’s traditional, tasty pub food at the Church Inn.

I would declare that this is not the easiest of Caves to get to. It's not the path in the immediate vicinity but the routes available to get there. 1) A path through boulder strewn Horseshoe Dale or 2) The steep precipitous descent from Caxterway Lane or 3) The path from King Sterndale which was flooded in Deep Dale when I visited on Dec 25th 2020 or 4) The alternative from the A6 car park being closed till 2026. I visited, as it was on my round walk from Chelmorton. I avoided the steep precipitous descent by entering the dales off the A515 and leaving by the steep precipitous ascent (better going up) near the cave. It is an interesting edifice and has been investigated thoroughly with artifacts being found that are now in the museum at Buxton. Search on the web re the the findings and it's use.
