ダービーシャーの峡谷・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

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

Visiting Torrs Riverside Park offers a unique blend of natural beauty and industrial heritage. Explore the Millennium Walkway: This impressive structure is a must-see. Suspended above the gorge, it provides breath-taking views of the Rivers Sett and Goyt. It's a testament to modern engineering within a historic setting, and a great place for memorable photographs. Delve into the Industrial Past: Torrs Riverside Park is steeped in history. The remnants of old mills, weirs, and bridges tell the story of the area's industrial revolution. Keep an eye out for Torr Vale Mill which has shops and Torr Vale tap, and also the working Torrs Hydro community owned hydro electric scheme, which is using the power of the river once again. It is worth noting that the Torrs gorge itself was formed by melting ice at the end of the last Ice Age, adding a layer of geological interest to the location.
