For those happy with a slightly longer drive, Longshaw Park will not disappoint. Excellent walks, ancient woodlands and rolling streams, Longshaw is home to Padley Gorge, Burbage Edge and Higgor Tor.
The estate is part of the National Trust Peak District Estate. At Longshaw, there is a tea room, shop and a learning facility called the Moorland Discovery Centre, which is a joint venture between the National Trust and the Peak National Park.
