Mam Tor

Scenic spot

👍👍 There is a car park found off of the main road. It's a national trust car park. If you're not a member you will have to pay either by phone or use the app. It cost me £4.50 for 2 hours. All around below there are smaller roads and people park along here, and this is the reason why. However, the car...

Baslow Edge

Scenic spot

👍👍 We decided to visit Baslow Edge on our journey up to the Peak District to kill soke time before we could check in to our hotel. Absolutely breathtaking views, heather a thousand shades of pink and purple crown the vast rocks that litter landscape. I even saw a butterfly I'd never seen before! Walkin...

Derwent Dam Viewpoint

Scenic spot

👍👍 There has been a lot of effort put into pathways around the dams to ensure a lovely long and comfortable walk, and it's great for cyclists too.

Beacon Hill Toposcope

Scenic spot

👍 It was ok. Good parking and it's free which is nice. The view is amazing and there is plenty of open space for little ones to run around. There's a nice little walk through the woods, it runs alongside a road and golf course though, so it's not quiet or good to see nature. If people could take their...

There is a widespread myth that while seated under the original apple tree, New...

The Needle's Eye

Historical landmark

👍👍 Surrounded by beautiful landscape, the Needle's Eye stands at 45 ft and built in the mid 18thcentury, it straddles an old access road from Wentworth Woodhouse to Pontefract and York. Apparently it was built to win a bet after the first Marquis claimed he could drive a horse and coach through the e...

Ye Olde Punchbowl Country Inn & Gardens

🫤 Went for Christmas dinner. Ambulance was good . Service was excellent But the food poor. Start was passable Main All the veg over cooked and like mush. The meats were also over cooked. Portion size is what you put on the plate. Xmas pudding very sweet.
