Holcombe Hill

Hiking area

👍👍 Other than a brief visit in 2011, this was a favourite old haunt (hike) in my student days in the late '80's, and despite the overcast weather, the moderate trek up to Peel Tower surpassed expectations. Astonishing views (shame the pictures don't do them justice) plus could still make out Blackpool...

Marple Aqueduct

Historical landmark

👍👍 An inspiring and historic aqueduct that carries the Peak Forest Canal 100 feet over the River Goyt. It is the tallest brick-build aqueduct in the country and runs adjacent to the even taller railway viaduct.

Swinside Stone Circle

Historical landmark

👍👍 Beautiful, raw nature. A complete stone circle. It is on unexplored paths and demands 20 mins walk from parking point. It's in a sheep farming village. So no official parking and roads are narrow. But people are friendly and guide you. I just loved the whole experience.
