Great views, can you spot the mast on Sir William Hill above Eyam

Great views at the top from the cave

The original hall was said to have been built between 1628 and 1629 for Francis Moore, a proprietor of several local lead mines. The stone used in the construction is said to have come from the Stancliffe quarries in Darley Dale, being transported on pack horses. The hall was rebuilt by the Moore family around 1720. It was lived in by William Marsland until 1903 and then his widow until 1926 when it was sold for £750 (equivalent to £55,000 in 2023) to Mr. Butler of Wingfield. In the 1970s the hall became Winster Hall Hotel run by Derek and Pauline Wood, but this closed in 1999. It reverted to a private dwelling and is let out as a self-catering holiday home.

It's a lovely brick built listed building and on the first floor is an unmanned information room with interpretation panels detailing the history of the village and a scale model of Winster. Standing almost in the centre of the main street, Winster Market House is a dominating feature of the village, and stands as testimony to its once thriving past. Winster village itself is interesting to explore on foot, as part of a visit to the Peak District.

The seat was wet through and I didn't fancy getting myself muckier than I already was, so I didn't selit down. But the views are cracking.

An active limestone quarry, this area is known for producing specimens of dark blue fluorite, baryte, anglesite, cerussite, malachite and smithsonite.

The shaft was named after Mr.Tinker, who first sunk it back in the 1600s. It is one of many family shafts built on Masson Hill, a trend at the time to assert certain mining territory. For hundreds of years, the land on Masson Hill was used predominantly by miners who hoped to earn a living by extracting lead from the hillside. In turn, they ended up fashioning a huge network of tunnels and mine shafts. This created a unique landscape and habitat, which has since been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (an SSSI). The SSSI is also home to a rare species of wild orchid.
