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. Dogs are welcome but must remain leashed at all times due to the livestock and wildlife. Beautiful scenery and many historical info boards and features dott...

Crookes Valley Park Aerial Scenic Point

Scenic spot

👍👍 Amazing place where you can enjoy the silence of the nature, stunning green area, large pond. The kids usually enjoy play at the playgrounds there.

Whitegate Station

Scenic spot

👍👍 Great little find, perfect pit stop on our bike ride and very dog friendly too (there were plenty of owners meeting to have some free training). Nice coffee, great looking cakes - although I didn’t have one, ‘coz I’m an athlete (honest!!). Will be making this one of my regular cycling routes. Than...

Allen Brickworks

Scenic spot

👍👍 My life coach, Waxy Al, often takes me here to reflect on things. Mostly I rant about this ginger guy from my work who literally chats about the gym like he's shredded (he's not)... It's a great place to express your feelings, the acoustics are incredible!

4.60 (40 reviews) (~27.61 km from centre)

Ardsley Reservoir

Scenic spot

👍 There’s free parking for probably about 10 cars in a car park just off the reservoir. The walk takes about 20 minutes for one round, I usually walk two. You can get a pram / pushchair around here, I use an all terrain one, but any with good sized wheels would be fine.

4.50 (529 reviews) (~41.17 km from centre)

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...

Travellers Rest

Gastropub

😠 Under new management- AVOID. Visited twice over a weekend. Once for a drink, once to eat. Manager seemed to serve others in turn before me (locals?) at the bar. I marked his card. Next day 6 of us made a booking for Sunday evening. (Only walkable place from campsite). Tables were so close I felt lik...
