Forty years ago a Baslow Farmer broke with convention and bought the first members of a herd of Highland Cattle that still roams Baslow Edge today. But for how much longer will these magnificent animals graze the rough pasture that overlooks the villages of Baslow […]
Stanage Edge is one of the best known gritstone edges in the Peak District and is therefore very popular with visitors. This popularity is due to Stanage Edge’s impressive views into the Hope Valley, across the Peak District to Mam Tor and glimpses of the […]

Over the bank holiday weekend we attended a fair at Capesthorne Hall in Cheshire near the village of Siddington. Luckily we were able to get out into the gardens and take a look around on what turned out to be the hottest Mayday Bank Holiday […]
