• A small but striking natural arch carved by erosion in a gritstone outcrop. • Dimensions: • Span: ~3–4 meters wide • Height: ~2 meters at center • Thickness: ~1 meter • Formed over thousands of years by frost weathering and water seepage along joints in the rock. • Overgrown with moss, ferns, and small trees — blends perfectly into the woodland

Arrive mid-morning on a crisp autumn day to wander the quaint village green with its medieval cross, duck pond, and bull-ring—perfect for photos of the limestone cottages without crowds. Grab a hearty pub lunch at The Bull’s Head, savoring local ales and farm-fresh dishes, then embark on the easy 2.4-mile walk to nearby Eyam (the “Plague Village”) for a dose of history amid rolling dales. Park at the edge of the village (limited spots), wear comfy shoes for the quiet lanes, and time your visit for late August if you can catch the colorful well dressings festival

Visit in late spring (May-June) for vibrant wildflowers and mild weather, ideal for the 3-5 mile Cressbrook Dale loop from Monsal Head or Litton. Wear sturdy hiking boots for the rocky terrain and bring a camera for stunning views from the stone’s summit, especially at sunset when the limestone glows. Park at Monsal Head car park (fee applies) and follow the well-marked trail, but avoid wet days as the dale paths can get slippery. Pack a snack to enjoy the panorama, and check out nearby Monsal Trail for a post-hike stroll

I lived here for a short spell it gets cold in winter 🥶

Steep but worth the trip

A wonderful and popular cafe selling great food and drink 👌🏻

Great little spot, with a couple of small footbridges over the water - it's not a Ford! The intersection of Highlow Brook, Bretton Brook & Abney Clough as well as five footpaths all converge here.
