19th century pleasure ground which exploited the dramatic qualities of the Derwent valley. Peter Arkwright of Willersley Castle enclosed the grounds c 1860 and constructed pedestrian paths from a new entrance on the south side approached from the bridge to Matlock Bath railway station. The entrance from Starkholmes Road was retained and could be used by carriages. A pathway was formed through Fern Cave (scheduled ancient monument) and another on a narrow ledge along part of the cliff face. In 1879 the grounds were leased to the Matlock and High Tor Recreation Grounds Company Ltd and Milner of London was retained to supervise landscaping. Arkwright's Grand Walk, also used by carriages, was created, leading south to the summit from a gateway in Pig Tree Lane, now Pic Tor Lane. A refreshment room was erected near the summit, tennis and quoit or skittle grounds were constructed close to a modified southern entrance and additional paths put in with a broad flight of steps.

That's what it is! I thought it was a hobbit house or similar lol

Alas, the previously awesome views from the trig point are long gone due to tree growth. Today the trig point is a waypoint only; for views head over to Black Rocks.

There is a Trig point and a Doomsday Bunker, which is locked from the inside to prevent access, The shaft and ventilation shaft was clad in Derbyshire stone, but locals say that the stone that was used to build it was stolen long ago, hence the reason for it being locked. At 299m above sea level, the (Rock) Fabrick is the highest point in the area and the views are stunning.

Bolehill (Cromford Moor) is 323 metres high and is one of the 95 Ethels (Peak District Hills).
