Longshaw Pond

Highlight • Natural

Longshaw Pond was created around 1827 and once had a boathouse and pier. Wardens carefully remove the marsh plants each year to stop them from choking up the open water.

The lodge was built about the same time as the pond, as a shooting retreat for the Duke of Rutland and his guests, including George V and the Duke of Wellington. Later, the lodge became a military hospital and after the wars let to the Holiday Fellowship as a guest house. In 1969 it was converted into private flats. (The lodge is not open to the public.)

Burbage Brook and Padley Gorge

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

Padley Gorge is an enchanting place that feels like the setting for a fairy tale. Mystical at all times of year, the moss-covered trees and babbling brook are truly magical. This trail starts near the village of Grindleford and climbs all the way to Burbage Moor. In the summer months, you will find this a perfect place for picnics and paddling.
