周辺の峡谷・トップ15

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.

It's tough, but not crazy. Beautiful on a sunny day.

The area is interesting from both historical and geological point of views. It combines gritstone rock formations and remnants of medieval agricultural practices. It is easily accessible from Surprise View Car park (A6187) and therefore can get overcrowded at week-ends.

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.

The views are stunning

Challenging/tasty climb. Or... fun downhill after climbing Mam Nick, whichever way you prefer. Either way around, absolutely breathtaking views! The road isn't super wide, so do be mindful of cars, whether you're ascending or descending :)

The Burbage valley is a lovely place to ride with far reaching views over the moors, it’s a place that isn’t difficult to ride due to its gentle gradient but in dryer conditions it’s quite fun at the bottom end as it has a flowing nature

Very picturesque run but watch out for low hanging branches during the climb at the beginning. Position was about 20-30m out so make sure you take the right path each time.
