하팅턴 어퍼 쿼터 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

This isn’t a towering drop (about 2–3 meters high, with mossy steps), but it’s part of the classic Goyt Valley scenery, surrounded by ancient quarries and views of Errwood’s deep waters (up to 35m in places). It’s often encountered en route to Goytsclough Quarry, an old lime works turned nature spot.

When the water is low, the remaining stone walls from the former settlement that was flooded can be seen.

This highlight is positioned at a viewing point for the waterfall. If you wish to actually stand next to the waterfall you would need to head down to the river, carefully cross the river and then carefully make your way along the river bank to the waterfall. When I did this we hadn't had much rainfall and so the water levels were very low. So, this access may vary depending on the water level of the river at any given time.

Obviously you have to pick the right time of the year to really appreciate the Rhoddys

Watch your head when you go in! Very low door!

Fantastic little shrine

Fantastic old ruins of Errwood Hall

The wonderfully named Windgather Rocks is a grand gritstone crag that's popular with climbers, offering steep, juggy routes. It provides superb views across the national park. The crag is part of the ridge system that extends south along the Cheshire Derbyshire border, culminating in Shining Tor, Cheshire's highest point.
