Enchanted ( Explored )
The wooded ravine known as Padley Gorge is only a stone’s throw from civilisation
Here, ancient oak and birch trees grow along gentle slopes, forming the most wonderful twisted shapes, and in the valley below a crystal-clear stream
As Burbage Brook makes its way south to join the River Derwent at Grindleford it rushes through this steep-sided valley surrounded by atmospheric and indigenous oak woodland - a rare survival from ancient times.
During the autumn season, the woodland is transformed into an explosion of orange and brown and there are countless examples of weird and wonderful fungi that can be found on the woodland floor and on the trees.
