The Roaches Peak District

Reviewed By kenhI2641SB - Ipswich, United Kingdom

Visited when staying at the Camping and Caravanning site at Blackshaw Moor near Leek. It was a superb 10 mile round trip hike from the campsite, across country via Lower Blackshaw Farm and Whitty Lane up to Hen Cloud. From there its an excellent north west trek following the Roaches ridge past Doxy Pool to the Trig point before turning back. Superb views of Tittesworth Reservoir. Plenty of places to stop for a picnic with a view. There is limited roadside parking that runs below the Roaches albeit it gets full very quickly. It is worth noting that it is not a bad walk from the reservoir Visitor Centre where there is ample parking, toilets etc.

Stu and team run a fantastic setup. The bikes are in tip-top condition, more snacks than you ever need and a really great, tasty, hot lunch. We learned so much from the team’s excellent instruction. At the start of the day, Stu said we’d be doing stuff by the end of the day that, at the start, we wouldn’t have thought possible; he was right and it’s all down to the team’s excellent tuition. If you can cope with a bit of banter being thrown at you, you’ll have an amazing day where you (personally speaking!) come away knackered but with a massive grin.

Lud's Church

Reviewed By RonMiddleton123 - Wirksworth, United Kingdom

This is a wonderfully atmospheric place, at least mid-week or mid-winter, when you can savour the chasm on your own or in a small gang. Not sure about a Green Knight, but everything else is and the views are well worth the short walk.
