Rowsley Bridge

Highlight • Historical Site

Grade II-listed medieval bridge, built in the 15th century and widened in the 1920s.

Tip by

261 m

Where the River Derwent meets the River Wye, Rowsley is a great base for exploring the Peak District National Park. The wonderful grounds of Chatsworth House are nearby, while the gritstone edges of the Dark Peak and the limestone dales of the White Peak are within driving distance.

In the village, the Victorian Caudwell's Mill is worth a visit, thought to be the only working water-powered turbine roller flour mill left in the country. There are two popular pubs, both of which serve great food and offer accommodation.

Stanton Moor Trig Point

Highlight • Viewpoint

Stanton Moor is a majestic area of upland on the edge of the Peak District. With a Bronze Age stone circle at its heart, the moorland is much-celebrated for its connections to ancient spirituality. Furthermore, you get breathtaking views from rocks on the edge of the moor; overlooking Bakewell from one side and Matlock to the other. There’s a great deal of wildlife, too. All in all it’s a magical place to explore and one of my favourite spots in the Peaks.

Cork Stone

Highlight • Climb

The Cork Stone is one of a number of impressive natural outcrops on Stanton Moor. With steps carved into one side, and a few handles hammered into the top, it's easy to climb the curious chunk of weathered sandstone. Getting down, however, is a little harder.

Barn Farm Campsite

Highlight • Rest Area

Barn Farm is a friendly campsite in an idyllic Peak District setting. Located on the outskirts of Birchover village — which has a couple of pubs and places for food — and close to the atmospheric Stanton Moor, it is in a great location. As well as tent pitches, there are camping barns for hire. For more information, visit: barnfarmcamping.com/camping-and-caravans.

Darley Bridge

Highlight • Historical Site

Lovely place to stop and look for fish. The Square and Compass provides a great place to refresh with a basic pub food menu (though it is Robinson beer, which is not a favourite of mine). They also have a small campsite just next door. Not a bad place for a night!
