Heights of Abraham great views

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.

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.

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

There are eight transmitter masts visible on the top of the hill (one of them is shorter).

Car Park has been reopened with an automatic electronic gate that's only open between set times March-Oct 8am - 7pm Nov-Feb 8am - 5pm

The footpath along the summit is commonly known as Giddy Edge, unfenced and not recommended for small children . There is a small metal handrail afixed to the inside edge (of the cliff) totally spectacular.

Bolehill has a trig point at 323m. It's the area of high ground south of Black Rocks and northeast of Wirksworth. There are lots of nice walking trails in the area especially through the Big Plantation and across Cromford Moor.

High Tor is the last place in England where eagles nested and is a stunning limestone escarpment which is the site of former lead mines.

Very nice walk. Not too hard.

The top of the moor. You can't go any higher. It's an achievement

One of the easiest trig points to bag.

The National Trust have now closed the car park (since 2020, still closed in Spring 2022) apparently due to "anti-social behaviour". No car parking nearby but can still be accessed by walkers and, after climbing over a mound of earth, by cyclists.

Stanton Moor is a majestic area of upland on the edge of the Peak District. With a Bronze Age stone circle at its heart, the moorland is much-celebrated for its connections to ancient spirituality. Furthermore, you get breathtaking views from rocks on the edge of the moor; overlooking Bakewell from one side and Matlock to the other. There’s a great deal of wildlife, too. All in all it’s a magical place to explore and one of my favourite spots in the Peaks.

Feels like you're on top of the World

Minninglow is a 1,220-foot (372 m) hill in the White Peak region of the Peak District. It is most notable for the impressive chambered Neolithic burial tomb that adorns the summit. The site comprises an oval cairn measuring 148 by 125 feet (45 by 38 m) and is surrounded by a clump of trees. From the air in winter, it almost looks like a festive wreath. Within the tomb are two complete limestone chambers and at least three others that are incomplete.

Cool little gorges near Stanton Trig point.

Lovely spot for lunch
