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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
