The Plough, Hathersage

View of Hope Valley from Leam Lane

Highlight • Climb

Hot on the hilly heels of the 6km swooping descent from Abney and a sharp right takes you up the staggered climb of Leam Lane. A tiny but beautiful lane, if your lungs and legs let you have a look at the lovely house on one hairpin then the views over Hathersage and Hope Valley on the next ramp and through the woods it flattens off and even a descent before facing Sir William Hill next (right at the junction). Even stags in the autumnal views through the woods today.

Highlow Brook Ford

This picturesque ford in the Peak District near Hathersage includes an elevated walkway to keep your feet dry as you cross the water.

Stoke Ford Footbridges

Highlight • Trail

Great little spot, with a couple of small footbridges over the water - it's not a Ford! The intersection of Highlow Brook, Bretton Brook & Abney Clough as well as five footpaths all converge here.
