Favourite Peak District View

Recommended Posts

I wasn't really sure what mine was...until yesterday. I came across this location just by chance - it's Tumbling Hill near Grindleford. There are fine views in almost every direction...this is the view looking up the Hope Valley.

Anyone else got any particular favourite view?

Great blog and love the pics. I think my favorite view is out across the Ewden Valley and Broomhead Moor from the top trig point above Stocksbridge. It wouldn't win any prizes against some of the more famous Peak views but it's very special to me because it's local :)

 

Every time I see it I think, wow, I am lucky to live a short walk from this!

From towards the western end of the Roaches, looking over the Cheshire plain and southwards. On a clear day you can see the Wrekin, the North Wales hills, Jodrell Bank and, I'm told, Liverpool Cathedral(s).

 

Definitely going to try and see this one day!

The Roaches is a stunning place to walk, and that walk along the ridge is something else. Not only can you see all the places you have listed, but you can see 6 counties too from that point.

I love the view from Win Hill. Great panoramic scenes up there. Roaches ain't so bad either.

Several people have chosen The Roaches; unfortunately I can't get there on public transport. The are does look impressive though.

There's a public group on facebook called 'Walking around the Peak District' that's got some lovely walk and photos in there :)

I like the view at the top of the hill on the corner coming from the top of Padley gorge leading down to Haversidge.
