Long Low, Wetton
Long Low is a Neolithic and Bronze Age site in the English county of Staffordshire. It is about 2 km SE of Wetton. It consists of two round cairns linked by a connecting bank- an unusual layout and one that is unique in England. The northern cairn measures 23 m in diameter and survives to a height of 2.4 m. It appears to be related to other chamber tombs of the Peak District group and was excavated by Samuel Carrington in 1849.
Dovedale
Dovedale is a popular dale in the Peak District of England. It is owned by the National Trust, and annually attracts a million visitors. The valley is cut by the River Dove and runs for just over 3 miles between Milldale in the north and a wooded ravine near Thorpe Cloud and Bunster Hill in the south. The wooded ravine contains an attractive set of stepping stones which are often featured on calendars, and two caves known as the Dove Holes.
Thorpe Cloud
Thorpe Cloud is an isolated limestone hill lying between the villages of Thorpe and Ilam at the southern end of Dovedale. It is a popular hill amongst the many day-trippers who visit the area, and provides a fine viewpoint north up the dale and south across the Midland plain. Like much of the dale, including Bunster Hill on the opposite bank, it is in the ownership of the National Trust, and is part of their South Peak Estate. These Dovedale properties were acquired by the Trust in 1934.
Beeston Tor
Beeston Tor is a limestone cliff in Staffordshire. It overlooks the confluence of the River Hamps with the River Manifold, and is popular with climbers. There was a small station here, of the same name, opened by the narrow gauge (2' 6") Leek and Manifold Valley Light Railway on 27 June 1904, whilst being entirely operated by the North Staffordshire Railway. The station had no siding – unlike most of the stations on the line – but there was a refreshment room.
Manifold Way
The Manifold Way is a footpath and cycle way in Staffordshire, England. Some 8 miles in length, it runs from Hulme End in the north to Waterhouses in the south, mostly through the Manifold Valley and the valley of its only tributary, the River Hamps, following the route of the former Leek and Manifold Valley Light Railway, a 30 gauge line which closed in 1934 after a short life.
Hulme End
Alsop en le Dale railway station
Alsop en le Dale railway station was opened in 1899 near to Alsop en le Dale and Alstonefield, villages in Derbyshire south east of Buxton. It was on the Ashbourne Line built by the LNWR as a branch from the Cromford and High Peak Railway at Parsley Hay. At some time it was known as "Alsop en le Dale for Alstonefield."
Castern Hall
Castern Hall is a privately owned 18th century country house, the home of the Hurt family, situated in the Manifold Valley, near Ilam, Staffordshire. It is a Grade II* listed building. It is also spelled 'Casterne'. The grange at Castern was owned by Burton Abbey until the Dissolution of the Monasteries. It was acquired by Roger Hurt, youngest son of Nicholas Hurt of Ashbourne who settled there in the mid 16th century.
