Walking around Cromford
Hey, I've been away, two nights at the Willersley Castle Hotel at Cromford near Matlock, some jolly fine walking in the area. I left home a bit later on Wednesday because there had been snow and a heavy frost during the night, so I waited till the sun came out and the gritters had treated the roads.
I arrived at the hotel at 12.30pm, and after a bite to eat I set off for a bimble, taking the road towards Sparkholmes. It was a steep climb, but the views were lovely. That is Matlock Bath down there.
So far up the road and I took a right turn over a stile and into a wood. The path was steep, so the views got better and better.A bit further up and another photo. The two pylons you can see on the right are supporting the wires for the cable cars up to the Heights of Abraham.
At the top, Riber Castle comes into view across the fields, I zoomed in on it.
It was a beautiful sunny day.
I headed towards the castle, and took the road to the right hand side of it.
Oh wow, more fantastic views. Matlock looks pretty big down there.
It's been a while since I was last here, and the building work still isn't finished. All fenced off, can't get near it.
More of Matlock comes into view.
Time was getting on so I thought I ought to make my way back down to the main road and head back to the hotel. I had a look round Masson Mills on the A6 as I was passing. It's a big shopping complex, some nice things in there. I just wanted to get warm, it was getting pretty chilly now, time for the woolly hat. Only four miles covered because of the steepness.
I have a lovely room, and a lovely young man served my dinner in the lounge, as the dining room was full with a coach party. This is where I'm sitting as I type this, it will be published when I get back. ilona
PS. More photo's tomorrow.
