Nice dale and quiet compared to some of the more common ones, but still offer great views

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.

I seemed to have walked into the Shire

The views are stunning

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

Rocky path and fallen trees. Hard going when wet

Challenging, narrow, rough and gnarly hike over slippery limestone rocks & stones and through patches of scratchy hawthorns. Like horizontal mountaineering, this section of Monk's Dale is the wild sibling of the other Limestone Dales in the area

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.
