The Dark Peak, Saturday 25th January 2025.

A day off together today, saw us heading to the Dark Peak area of Derbyshire to complete a circular walk taking in Padley Gorge, Owler Tor, Bolehill Quarry and back to the car at Grindleford station.

The walk takes in some lovely habitat from the temperate rainforest habitat of Padley Gorge, to the open moorland and gritstone scenery Of Lawrence Field & Owler Tor.

A few nice birds seen, included a lovely singing male Dipper along Burbage Brook, always a joy to see.

After our lovely walk we travelled over to Castleton for some lovely lunch and had a walk around the village and shops before travelling home.

The following are my favourite photos from the day:
