Looking down on Castleton on the decent from Mam Tor.
Castleton is a village in the High Peak district of Derbyshire, England, at the western end of the Hope Valley on the Peakshole Water, a tributary of the River Noe, between the Dark Peak to the north and the White Peak to the south. The population was 642 at the 2011 Census.
Castleton village was mentioned as Pechesers in Domesday Book in 1086 where "Arnbiorn and Hundingr held the land of William Peverel's castle in Castleton". This land and Peverel's castle were amongst the manors belonging to William Peverel that also included Bolsover and Glapwell.
St Edmund's Norman church was restored about 1837. It has late 13th-century tracery and an ashlar-faced Perpendicular tower. Its box pews are dated 1661, 1662, 1663 and 1676.
Upcycling shop in Wirksworth. Old tat repurposed, usually into a lamp...some of which is quite attractive and some...well, let’s be kind, some not so much.
This is one of those shots that I've been after for years now. I have been to probably all of the best bluebell woods in Staffordshire, Derbyshire and Cheshire over the years on the hunt for that "Micheldever" clean shot but without the 3+ hours of travel South.
This stunning woodland is in Derbyshire and is by far the best example I have ever witnessed, the separation is truly stunning and as you can see has an easterly facing treeline which works brilliantly well at sunrise.
And to make things even more frustrating it's just 20 minutes from home.

Findern, Derbyshire
This is a 500 year-old building, which was originally a tudor dwelling, starting life as a tax collector's dwelling during the reign of Henry VIII. It was converted into five cottages during the 18th Century to house workers from the local mill. In the 1950s, it was bought by the Bakewell & District Historical Society who converted the house to its current use following the building being condemned and unfit for human habitation.

North west of Bamford and sitting at the head of the Ladybower Reservoir Win Hill provides some of the best views in the Peak District.
The ascent from Hope, via Twitchill Farm, gives stunnig views across to Lose Hill and the Great Ridge
At 1,516 ft, it is almost surrounded by water. The River Derwent to the east, the River Noe to the south west and Ladybower Reservoir to the north. A ridge running north west links it to Kinder Scout and stops it from being an island.
On top of Win Hill lies Win Hill Pike, a small conical shaped crag that can be seen for miles around. Win Hill Pike has an Ordnance Survey triangulation point, or trig point on it's highest point.
With 472 ft of relative height, Win Hill is only 20 ft short of qualifying as a Marilyn. A Marilyn is a mountain or hill in the United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland or Isle of Man with a prominence of at least 150 metres (492 ft), regardless of absolute height or other merit. The name was coined as a punning contrast to the designation Munro, used of a Scottish mountain with a height of more than 3,000 feet (914.4 m), which is homophonous with (Marilyn) Monroe.

The public footpath to Win Hill follows this route into the farmyard. The climb becomes severe beyond the farmyard.
