+Derbyshire Dave Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Morning Dave, What sort of thing are you looking for? Short walk, long walk, nature, , somewhere to stay? Pub? Is it specifically in the Ilam area? Is it a day visit, or a few days? One thing that always impresses me if you are near Ilam is ‘The Boiling Wells’ These are the Ilam resurgences. The river Manifold sinks flows overground in winter, but in summer flows completely underground. All year round there is a major resurgence below Ilam Hall, huge amount of water coming out. Got this location information.. NGR SK 1273 5078 Location53.0541 -1.8115 The Manifold Valley itself is a nice walk, with a good surface.. and has 'Thors Cave', huge entance high in a crag, which can get up to, and in. Thorpe Cloud is a good short circular walk, brining you back down to the stepping stones. Good range of pubs. Nice walking and visitor centre at Carsington Water. Lots of good flora in the limestone areas, loads of orchids at the moment, but that will have changed in a few weeks time Know the area well, more than glad to help out.. Only about 15 miles from me, so pop in for a cuppa if ya fancy.. Bottletopburly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bottletopburly Posted June 16, 2021 Author Share Posted June 16, 2021 (edited) Thanks Dave just thought of compiling a list of possible places to visit really can be a stop over , we like a leisurely walk so within 5ish miles or so , I keep meaning to visit bakewell , we visited heights of Abraham a few years ago that was nice , always nice to ask others as you’ll get recommended places others like, somewhere with nice scenery, could be a stateley house , hall etc I’m open minded with places to visit, thanks for recommendations I will have a look into those 👍.

+Derbyshire Dave Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 There's also Magpie mine.. The only semi-intact mining remains in the Peak. The link below is a lovely walk. Good picture on the link below too. 8 miles though.. https://peakdistrictwalks.net/magpie-mine-walk-monsal-dale-ashford-in-the-water/ Bottletopburly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
