The National Trust’s Longshaw Estate holds some of the most beautiful parts of the Peak District. Our walk up the secluded Padley Gorge, with the river tumbling into rocky pools, led up through oak and beech woodland onto the open moors, with the purple heather just coming into bloom. The wind-sculpted rock formations offer breathtaking views for miles around. Thank you to our wonderful group for joining us on a perfect evening.
And here are some pictures our walker took.

We could not have hoped for a better day to visit Lyme Park with the Hall and gardens looking magnificent in the early autumn sunshine. Unknown when planning this was
Wonderful to meet so many lovely new people and catch up with returning friends on our walk at Styal. Even on such a murky day this walk offers so much:
The sun kindly shone for our trip to Chapel en le Frith allowing us to enjoy the stunning views from Castle Naze rocks. Though the Great British mud prevented us
What beautiful scenery!
Perhaps I should have left one coin from Indonesia in the ‘Magic Money Tree’…
Beautiful view from the peak!
The rocks are not stoping us from great view and getting berries. It was amazing!
This was my first ever long walk since Ive moved to Manchester, and Im so glad it was with Andrew and Anna. Andrew was full of delightful facts and historical facts on everything we saw, I was lucky to attend when we were a small group, so there was plenty of time to talk to each other and get to know where everyone is in their student journey. While it had been rainy that week, we were fortunate to get the perfect walk weather all evening! It was sunny and windy, which is my personal favourite. Anna helped us identify Lingard berries and we picked some out, to bite into the sharp sour taste, for a little burst of energy (I needed it more than other:p). We also picked blueberries, which was a first for me! I would recommend these walks to anyone who enjoys being out in nature, learning about new places, and forming new connections, all in a relaxed, safe setting.
Im looking forward to my next walk!
