We'll be back in the Peak District again in the not too distant future and would love to know of any other hiking trails you'd recommend that we didn't do in this mini 4-part series (so not Monsal Dale, Bamford and Stanage Edge, The Roaches and Luds Church and the Edale Valley side of Kinder Scout).
I was there recently. Started in Bamford and had a look round some of the stone circles before doing a loop round Ladybower and back to Bamford. Ladybower was only about half-full. Not sure it'll be full again until the spring. I think I'll explore other parts of the PD in the meantime.
Walking around Ladybower whilst very empty sounds like a fantastic trail, I hope you enjoyed it. I've not explored too much of the Peak District I'm afraid, but we hiked Luds Church and the Roaches which was mind blowingly amazing. Kinder Scout was also brilliant, and if you're looking for something a bit easier, a circular from Ashford in the Water to the Monsal Viaduct is lovely too. I have videos of all 3 of those ones.
Stanage has long been popular with rock climbers. I went to college in Sheffield and a couple of times we would walk out across the moors to climb after lectures, or sometimes instead of lectures. Bamford was out of bounds for many years and patrolled by quite aggressive gamekeepers. Even though we have returned to walk in the area pretty often we have not yet been back to Bamford Edge. The Peak has many lovely walks and I am sure you will enjoy the area around Monsal Dale.
I'd have loved to have somewhere like the peak District on my doorstep when I went to uni - though like yourself, I can imagine it would be a tempting distraction from lectures 🤣 I had no idea about Bamford Edge being out of bounds and only accessible for game(-ers?) hunters? It helps to explain the structures though as I've been told they are for shooting birds.
Caroline and Andy what an interesting video, love the mill stones, and the circular stone buildings be they WW2 pillboxes or game bird hides?? I never seem those in the US, found some old homesteads and cabins.🕵♀ The UK great history makes hiking very cool, like Robin Hood caves! I don't know if Robin Hood was a real person but how cool.🦹♀ Thanks for sharing your hikes in UK and the amazing views and from Robin Hood and the Romans, Wow!. Love your channel. 💖Cheers🍨🍨🧔
A couple of comments from other viewers have let me know the structures were created for people who'd shoot the wild birds. I'm not too sure about Robinhood either, some people will say definitely real, others will say fictional! Definitely makes for a good story though! I like how we have the history dotted amongst our hiking trails, but I still think hiking in the US wins out between the 2, mostly due to the huge variety of landscapes the US offers.
Great video! I love to see your perspective on places I’ve visited, it’s like looking through a different pair of eyes. It’s good to hear Andy’s perspective too, about time you got him back on camera 🤣 I was up there in 2018 following the drought and wandering amongst the rarely seen ruins in the muddy base of the reservoir was an eerie experience. What struck me was that some structures remained almost pristine, whilst others were derelict.
That's awesome that you got to explore the reservoir during the 2018 droughts - crazy though that some were pristine and others were ruined, I've only learnt about this after reading your comment! I'm left wondering if the ruined ones were ruined before the flooding maybe? Thank you for your kind comments about Andy's perspective being included - it's so nice to be able to show him these comments as I think it gives him a bit more confidence to contribute more in the videos!
Hi John, thank you so much for clearing up the mystery around the structures. Given the birds we saw up there even on a busy bank holiday weekend, it makes a lot of sense that they're for bird shooting! Thank you as well for your kind words about the video too
I don't like droughts obviously but if they are good for one thing it's revealing the past - I'll bet it's quite a sight to see those old buildings poking up above the waterline. I've read about all kinds of things being uncovered around the world for the same reason. The Ridge District has got a ring to it! I can see why you would say that - I like the reviews at the end! The viaduct sounds good, see you there!
Definitely think Ridge District is most fitting. I've just got back from another week in the Lakes, and it's significantly more 'peaky' 🤣 Speaking of droughts, everything at home was so yellow and dead, and it's nice to have come back home to find it must have rained whilst we've been away as it's a little more green than before - very much with you on not being a fan of droughts, but agree, it's cool when you can unearth the past like that!

I didn't realise Pride and Prejudice was filmed there - a stunning setting so no surprise to read this in your comment! You mention a few places we didn't manage to get to on this shot trip - Burbage rocks, Cubaredge and Birchen Edge - we'll be headed back to the National Park in the not too distant future, so a few to have a look into - thank you!
The name 'Peak' does not in fact relate to the region's uplands, but is thought to derive from the Pecsaetan, an Anglo-Saxon tribe which settled in the area.
Hi Mr. Jiggs, I love how you know all of the answers to my questions, and now I know, it make a lot of sense given the number of animals we saw up there! Thank you for sharing!
@@WhenAdventureKnox You're welcome! I live not far from there and go whenever I can. I think you missed out on a couple of stone circles on this video that are around there. maybe you can spot them next time.
How are you doing mrs Caroline happy fall to you in September you will celebrate fall season in uk same date as USA actually we in Arabic countries love spring it’s symbolizes youth and beginning of life and dislike autumn it’s symbol of aging and death as I read autumn associated with harvest season. As always iam gathering main information about places you visited briefly here it’s bam ford edge is overhang griststone rock that sticks out north village of bam ford hope valley in English county of Derbyshire it’s first ascent of smoked salmon which graded as e 7 b was made by British climber Johnny Dawes . It’s have numerous trails cross on clear day provides views of hope valley same trails came out at new road opposite Yorkshire bridge public house . There are several attractions such as Peak District tour self guided, treasure hunt , blue John stone polishing activity, Manchester cheese crawl , Yorkshire dales cryptic clues hidden , snowdonia north wales , moor white by.
Hi Khatoon, happy fall (or autumn as we tend to call it in the UK) to you! Like yourselves, if we see the seasons as being symbolic, spring is associated with the beginning of life - it's when the trees begin to bud, you get the first of the pretty flowers like daffodils and tulips, and baby animals are often born, most notably lambs in the countryside. However us Brits do love autumn (in general!) as the colours become very pretty with the turning of the leaves. There's something special about going out for a long walk in the colder air, then getting to a pub with a roaring fire going to warm up and being served either a Sunday roast or something like a hot chocolate!

The structures you came across on the moors were probably grouse butts where the shooters hide behind until the grouse fly over.
The structures are hides for bird shooting, pheasants, grouse etc. another lovely vidio with details of our countryside.
Hi John, thank you so much for clearing up the mystery around the structures. Given the birds we saw up there even on a busy bank holiday weekend, it makes a lot of sense that they're for bird shooting! Thank you as well for your kind words about the video too

Only found your channel the other day, really great vid..! Oh btw, your bf looks a lot like Harry Enfield :]
Hi Pete, welcome - and thank you so much for your kind words. A number of people have said Andy looks like Harry Enfield!
The name 'Peak' does not in fact relate to the region's uplands, but is thought to derive from the Pecsaetan, an Anglo-Saxon tribe which settled in the area.
Ooooh, then in which case, the name makes so much more sense. Thank you for sharing!
They're for shooting grouse from .
