하팅턴 타운 쿼터 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

The car park is free for National Trust members. I love climbing but I don't like heights....confusing I know! I really enjoyed this short climb but I found myself on a small scramble which got my blood pumping a little!

Car park isn’t free but costs £6.60 for the day or £4 for 4 hours

Quite steep but amazing view from the summit. Short walk round to Dovedale Stepping Stones

St. Giles is the Church of England Parish Church for Hartington, within the Diocese of Derby. Hartington Church dates back to about 1250 AD and was once one of the largest parishes in England covering some 24,000 acres. During the 19th century several other churches were built to serve nearby communities. Now Hartington Church just serves the immediate village and the parish of Hartington Town Quarter and is part of "The White Peak" group of parishes together with Biggin, Earl Sterndale, Monyash, Chelmorton and, Taddington.

Start of some great walks

I found this hike quite tough as it was a hot day and be prepared for busy times..esp weekends

Lovely place, but busy.

You don't need a torch. It is a good test of nerve to walk all the way to the end without one. Just keep your head down / hands on the walls and feel for stones with your feet to avoid tripping. When you get to the end and turn round you can usually see a little daylight filtering in. It is rarely total darkness even right at the end. I imagine a good spot for the other sort of 'tripping' 😁 The water can often be higher than your boots so be prepared for wet feet. BTW it isn't a cave, it is an exploratory mine gallery, which I don't believe retreived any quantity of lead, before being abandoned.
