Darker Day’s……in the Peak

A change in the weather today and a change more suited to the Moors of the Dark Peak area of Derbyshire.  Cloud never cleared but a little sun did try to put in an appearance……

Hathersage Moor, Derbyshire

The heather and bracken covered slopes well defined in the sinking evening light as seen from Burbage Rocks with Higger Tor to the right, Carl Wark (an Iron Age Fort) to its left and Winyards Nick on the horizon to the left.

November is in my opinion one of the best times for the moors, cold as today was, soon snow and frosts will change the scene to one even more wintery.

8th November

    1. Thank you…the area is known as The Peak District. But it really is more a plateau with deep valleys carved into it. On a good day the vistas are fantastic….you do feel as if the world goes on forever.

    1. Thank you. I always eflect upon the fact that this desolate spot (and in winter weather hostile) was from early times to the early last century a hive of industry and habitation. Yet you would have a hard search finding the traces.
