Sunday August 3rd
Eyam and Stoney Middleton It was wet at first on Sunday, but the day brightened and we ended our walk in warm sunshine. We chose to re-do a walk we did 3 years ago as we had enjoyed it the first time and because it included two favourite places- Eyam and Stoney Middleton. The guy on the left is probably more representative of Eyam... After a visit to the Village Green café, we walked back to the track behind the car park which has recently been resurfaced after storm damage. The track takes one up to Eyam Edge and the road which after about a mile reaches the historic Barrel Inn at Bretton. A right turn leads to the valley of Abney Clough and then on to Bretton Moor. Garden ornament- Abney Clough road On reaching Sir William Hill road, the ancient turnpike road across this part of Derbyshire. We stopped for lunch at the trig point just off the turnpike and admired the views. Our picnic spot near the trig point We continued, passing Ladywash Mine which eventually closed in the 1990...
