We drove to Hathersage in the Peak District today to do a short 6 mile walk onto Stannage edge. It was nice and sunny but a bit breezy up on the edge. We started by walking to Hathersage church-the burial place of Little John.
We walked past Moorside Hall the home of the Eyres and supposedly where Jane Eyre was born and then climbed steeply through some woods - it was nice to see the bluebells were still out.
It was quite a steep climb and we struggled a bit as we are still recovering from our nasty colds. We finally climbed onto Stannage edge which was covered in climbers and where John saw a Ring Ouzel! We walked along the top in the sunshine and then made our way back off the edge and down through woodland and past the house which inspired Thornfield where Mr Rochester lived. We finally returned to Hathersage where we found that our favourite tea shop had closed and we had to make do with the café over the Outside shop.
