Stanage Edge

Hiking area

👍👍 Personally we parked at hollin bank car park. This costs money and isn't free, however, the walk isn't too long and we found some steps going up making it an easy climb to the top. Its a very busy place it seems, with many people practicing their rock climbing skills. This does have to be one of the...

Viator Bridge

Bridge

👍👍 Very pretty place. We parked up on the small Milldale car park. Parking is free. The road is tight and single lane with passing lanes. Seen a few beautiful houses walking down to the bridge. Noticed some houses were holiday lets. Free toilets available. There was a little cafe selling for taking aw...

Eccles Pike

Tourist attraction

👍👍 Lovely spot just a few miles out of Whaley Bridge, so an ideal area for a nice walk up to this part of the peak district. From this point (on a nice day) you can see right over to Manchester, but that's on a nice day. So pick your days wisely, because when it rains up there it lashes it down. Nice p...

National Trust - Longshaw, Burbage and the Eastern Moors

Park

👍 Lovely national trust visitors centre with toilets and cafe on site. Various walks available around the estate of varying lengths.

Redmires Reservoir

Hiking area

👍👍 There are 3 Redmire reservoirs. Lower, middle and upper. The upper reservoir is at an 350m asl. There is some parking here. From the reservoir paths go in all directions. It is a great walking area that is located a km or two from nearest peaks. A good place to start a walk for great scenery. Most d...

Wetton Mill

Tourist attraction

👍👍 Beautiful part of the Peak District. It's a very special place for me personally as it's where my love of the outdoors started, as it was the first place I drove to when I bought my 1st car, many many years ago, & I go at least once every year! Wetton Mill can be very busy on summer weekends, but th...

Linacre Reservoirs

Country park

👍👍 My favourite and my very best place to chill and calm. I had so many walks here, I stopped counting. It's even better after last refurbishment - I only wish it could be done sooner, while I have been having a pram, but I'm not complaining 😁 Please bring seeds to the ducks when visiting - they will...

Three Shires Head

Hiking area

👍👍 Beautiful walk. Nightmare to park. As I parked about an extra 20 minutes away from the start, instead of a 4 mile walk, it was a 6 mile walk. But, luckily it included passing some beautiful Alpacas. The normal route is reasonable to walk, but not suitable for pushchairs. It's a beautiful walk and we...

Tourist attraction

👍👍 Worth a visit. Easy access via the nearby path, and easy parking on local roads that have plenty of laybys- ( B5056) turn off the A515 at the Bentley Brook, and keep going until you find the layby in your right nearest the Rocks. An easy climb for all ages, including dogs and children. A nice view f...
