Excellent views over the Peaks to the North and South. Limestone gravel either side of William Hill itself. On 27/05/2026 the junction with Bradshaw Lane had a "Road Closed" sign. The road has been closed to vehicles by bollards at the junction with the access road to the Derbyshire and Lancashire Gliding Club access road but is fully passable on a bike. This did keep it traffic free. Not sure when, or if, this will change. I've not found any useful information on Google.

This waterfall is well hidden in a cop of trees. But it is best visited during a wet spell as if it has been dry you well be met with a damp cliff wall.

The “Lydgate Grave” (often referred to in plural as Lydgate Graves) is a poignant historical site in the village of Eyam, Derbyshire, England. It’s a small, enclosed burial ground commemorating victims of the infamous Eyam Plague of 1665–1666, one of the last major outbreaks of the Black Death in Britain. Eyam is known as the “Plague Village” for its villagers’ heroic self-quarantine, which saved surrounding areas but claimed about 260 lives (roughly 75% of the population). The Lydgate Graves are among the few surviving plague-era memorials, offering a stark reminder of that sacrifice

Arrive mid-morning on a crisp autumn day to wander the quaint village green with its medieval cross, duck pond, and bull-ring—perfect for photos of the limestone cottages without crowds. Grab a hearty pub lunch at The Bull’s Head, savoring local ales and farm-fresh dishes, then embark on the easy 2.4-mile walk to nearby Eyam (the “Plague Village”) for a dose of history amid rolling dales. Park at the edge of the village (limited spots), wear comfy shoes for the quiet lanes, and time your visit for late August if you can catch the colorful well dressings festival

Sir William Hill Road is an ancient packhorse route and a former section of the 1758 Sheffield-Buxton Turnpike. Today it provides an engaging challenge in both ascent and descent - the gravel trail is rough and stony.
