The figure of "Robin Hood"—who famously takes from the rich and gives to the poor—is by no means proven to be a historical figure, but has been retold over and over again for many centuries. He, his friends, and his exploits are set in the heart of the legendary "Sherwood Forest" that he made famous. This cave in the Derbyshire Dales, west of Sheffield, is also said to be associated with him as a place of refuge.

Robin Hood’s Cave is concealed in the cliff face at Stanage Edge. It is believed that Robin Hood and his merry men took shelter here.

Path to the entrance is usually flooded so worth wearing appropriate footwear.

The Delf is a natural valley that runs south from the idyllic Peak District village of Eyam. A short way down it is Cucklet Delf (which I’ve also seen spelt ‘Cucklett’ or ‘Delph’), a beautiful limestone craglet that forms a cavern with two large arches. From 1666, the larger of two archways became the pulpit for the twenty-seven-year-old village rector, William Mompesson. From here, he could preach into the valley and be heard by his congregation, gathered in disparate family groups on the opposite hillside. Throughout the outbreak of the plague, this crag — and, in fact, this whole section of the Delf — became the Cucklet Church.

Deep Dale is a nature reserve that’s full of character, packed with beauty and affords a delightful sense of solitude. As the grassland’s underlying rock is carboniferous limestone, the reserve is home to many wonderful species of wildflowers. Spring and summer are the best times for insect and wildflower displays but it’s a wonderful place to explore at any time of year. There are also caves within the dale.
