The Ribblehead Viaduct - Yorkshire (near
The Peak District)
The
Settle-Carlisle railway line one of the most
beautiful in England features a series of
spectacular viaducts - none more famous than the Ribblehead, with its twenty four arches, a hundred
feet high. Steam trains still run on this line for
tourists.

|
The Peak District forms the southern end of
the Pennines and much of the area is uplands
above 1,000 feet (300 m), with a high point
on Kinder Scout of 2,087 feet (636 m).
Despite its name, the landscape lacks sharp
peaks, being characterised by rounded hills
and gritstone escarpments (the "edges"). The
area is surrounded by major conurbations,
including Huddersfield, Manchester,
Sheffield, Derby and Stoke-on-Trent.
The National Park covers 555 square miles
(1,438 km²) of Derbyshire, Staffordshire,
Cheshire, Greater Manchester and South and
West Yorkshire, including the majority of
the area commonly referred to as the Peak.
The Park boundaries were drawn to exclude
large built-up areas and industrial sites
from the park; in particular, the town of
Buxton and the adjacent quarries are located
at the end of the Peak Dale corridor,
surrounded on three sides by the Park. The
town of Bakewell and numerous villages are,
however, included within the boundaries, as
is much of the (non-industrial) west of
Sheffield. As of 2006, it is the fourth
largest National Park in England and Wales.
As always in Britain, the designation
"National Park" means that there are
planning restrictions to protect the area
from inappropriate development, and a Park
Authority to look after it - but does not
imply that the land is owned by the
government, or is uninhabited.
12% of the Peak District National Park is
owned by the National Trust, a charity which
aims to conserve historic and natural
landscapes. It does not receive government
funding. The three Trust estates (High Peak,
South Peak and Longshaw) include the
ecologically or geologically significant
areas of Bleaklow, Derwent Edge, Hope
Woodlands, Kinder Scout, Leek and Manifold,
Mam Tor, Dovedale, Milldale and Winnats. The
Peak District National Park Authority
directly owns around 5%, and other major
landowners include several water companies.

| Enjoying
spectacular countryside views, these three
properties are careful restorations of a
splendid 18th-century, listed farmhouse and
nearby barn. Slade House itself is a former
yeoman's abode dating back to the 1640s.
They feature quality furnishings, and each
has its own garden set in 7acres of farmland
grounds; an idyllically peaceful location on
the edge of the National Park. Excellent
country walks can be enjoyed amid the
surrounding Staffordshire countryside, with
many footpaths leading straight from the
door. Alternatively why not hop on your
bicycle and take a leisurely ride along the
leafy country lanes; an excellent way to
spot the local flora and fauna and admire
the breathtaking views. Cycle routes can
also be explored along the Manifold,
Tissington and High Peak trails, a series of
waymarked footpaths which follow the course
of disused railway tracks. Places of
interest not to be missed when touring out
and about include the great country houses
of Chatsworth and Haddon, the bustling
market towns of Leek, Bakewell and Matlock
Bath, with its cable cars scaling the
Heights of Abraham, the vast recreational
lake of Carsington Water (where sailing,
canoeing, fishing, and bird-watching
opportunities abound), the heritage sites of
Wirksworth, and the delightful spa town of
Buxton with its fine opera house, which
plays host to the famous Gilbert and
Sullivan Festival during the summer months.
For a truly peaceful day out, there is some
wonderful walking to be found amid the
gentle valleys of Dove Dale, while for a fun
family day out, Alton Towers is within easy
reach. Those seeking an altogether different
outdoor experience can make their way to The
Roaches, an area famed throughout the land
for its excellent rock climbing. Ashbourne
`Gateway to the Derbyshire Dales' offers a
selection of antique shops and restaurants,
a regular market day and a gingerbread shop
where delicacies are made to a recipe
allegedly passed on by Napoleanic prisoners
of war. Many other charming country pubs and
stores can be found locally, amid a
scattering of classic grey-stone villages. |
