Cave Dale in Spring
On a dreary winter’s day like today I thought we could all do with a bit of cheering up so when I discovered some images we took when we started walking in the Spring they seem like just the ticket. Cave Dale is a picturesque […]
Enjoying the Peak District One Hill At A Time
Walking
Carl Wark and Higgar Tor
I began writing this to accompany the images we took while out walking around Higgar Tor, Carl Warl and Over Owler Tor today and while doing the research found out something quite surprising. It’s not earth shattering as such but the fact that I was […]
Ladybower Reservoir In Early December
Walking around Ladybower was our second choice today after calling off a trek to Alport Castles. We felt the light was a bit flat so opted for a circuit around the northern arm of Ladybower reservoir rather than the trek across moorland. It was a […]
Mam Tor, The Shivering Mountain
Mam Tor means “mother hill” but then it didn’t take a linguistic genius to work that out did it, LOL. It’s also called the “Shivering Mountain” which I always think sounds like something out of Lord of The Rings that has a band of ice […]
Autumn on Stanage Edge
Stanage Edge is one of our favourite walks, it’s impossible to get lost and can be challenging in the wet and icy conditions so it’s a good one for pushing yourself just as far as you want to go. There is a limit of course […]
A Quick Walk by The River Derwent
Living near the River Derwent means we are a) very lucky and b) often walk by the river in the evenings if we’re unable to get out for one of our longer walks in the Derbyshire Peak District. Just a hundred or so meters from […]
Carsington Water In Autumn
Today we took a walk around Carsington water, a 13km circuit that we have already written up here. Our previous visit to Carsington Water was in the summer so the landscape was very different. It wasn’t too cold (around 6-7 degrees for the most part) […]
Walking Around Derwent and Howden Reservoirs
Some of the nicest places to walk in the Peak District are the reservoirs. Many are easily circumnavigated by well-maintained paths and for the most part are flat, or flat-ish because they follow the shoreline. They vary in size but some of the biggest are […]
Snow In The Peak District – A Few Pictures
We decided to take a walk from Castleton, via Cave Dale and back down Winnats Pass today. It was interesting but quite tiring because of the snow on the tops and the water running down Cave Dale. Not to mention the sub-4 degree temperatures. However […]
Bamford Edge in The Autumn
Here are some more images from our recent walk on Bamford Edge. It’s a nice walk that gives you great views over the Derwent valley where you can see many of the best known hills and features of the Peak District such as Mam Tor, […]
Ascending Grindslow Knoll in Edale
We decided to climb Grindslow Knoll on one of the warmest days of the year but the following day was even hotter so on reflection I’m glad we did it when we did. J Parking in Edale is always fun as it’s such a busy […]
Autumn Walk on Bamford Edge Gallery
This is just a few pictures from our walk today on Bamford Edge in the Derbyshire Peak District. The northern end of the edge give you great views over Ladybower Reservoir, Win Hill, Crook Hill and Derwent edge among other landmarks. You’ll also find a […]
