Back Tor - Peak District

The Great Ridge Walk between Mam Tor and Lose Hill is one of the most loved walks for its beautiful scenery and stunning views. The section from Hollins Cross to Back Tor confronts you with a steep rocky scramble - tiny figures silhouetted at the summit enjoy a much needed rest and soak up the beauty.

High Tor - Derbyshire Dales

The Derbyshire Dales are truly beautiful with lush green hills and woods. Set in the midst of this scenery is the imposing High Tor cliff, which towers over Matlock Dale and is the last place in England where eagles nested. The scene captures the popular walking route from Matlock on the left along the Giddy Edge cliff top route, with Riber Castle in the background. Taken from the Heights of Abraham path.
