Enjoying the Peak District One Hill At A Time
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 […]
Sunday morning, the 3rd of June I met up with a group of people in the car park at The Anglers Rest in Bamford. After briefly introducing myself to a few of the attendees our host Renuka Russell arrived with her rucksack and a smile. […]
Despite the glorious but strength-sapping June heat we went for a walk around Ladybower Reservoir today. If you like any of these pictures, or indeed any of the image published on our website and would like to own a copy of them as a print […]
We had a local walk today around Curbar, Curbar Edge, Froggatt Edge, Grindleford and back to Froggatt. The whole route for a Froggatt Edge round walk is about 12.5km, just enough when the sun’s trying to break through the cloud and there’s a reasonable ascent […]

And as you can see we found the titular Highland Cattle we were looking for.
We went out walking on Derwent Edge today to try and capture a few images of it covered in snow. Persistent and deep snow is becoming less and less of a feature of Britain in general as our winters become warmer and wetter making any […]
Burbage Valley, Burbage Edge and the features it contains is always a popular destination for walkers at any time of year. A couple of days ago we ventured out to capture what little light there was and blow away the cobwebs that had accumulated over […]
Cromford Canal has a history stretching back over 200 years. It was conceived in the 18th century as an extension to the Erewash Canal. After receiving its Act of Parliament in 1789 worked started on the 14.5 mile cut. Despite initial hiccups including the costs […]
Ladybower Reservoir in Spring isn’t always the driest of places. However today, apart from the cold wind it was glorious. We parked on the Sheffield side of Ashopton Viaduct and walked up Crook Hill. From there we completed a 13km circuit taking in Ouzelden Clough, Derwent […]
