Absolutely gorgeous packhorse bridge; preserved intact as though completely untouched in time. Properly historic! It goes over Folly Gill and there will usually be flowers growing here alongside the banks, making it a truly enchanting spot.

Darley Mill and Water Wheel

Highlight • Monument

This is a restored 17th century Corn Mill, complete with an old water wheel. The building is Grade-II listed. This is now actually a shop called Darley Mill Centre, but the wheel is certainly of interest: it's huge! - and worth stopping on your run for.

Providence Chapel, Dacre

Highlight • Monument

This is an interesting and somewhat unusual church (particularly given its rather regular shape). It was built in 1827 as an Independent Chapel, and is now a Grade-II listed building. In the churchyard, there is also a Grade-II listed sundial that you might want to have a closer look at.

Although you're next to a road, this is nonetheless a very peaceful church and yard, with a sense of the peace about it.
