The main water here is the young River Dane working its way between the rocks in a small gorge. There is another stream joining it here from the right. Hard to see but it is just visible between the further of the flat reddish slabs and the first of the greyer blocks. Each stream is a county boundary. Cheshire is all the land to the left of the main river, those grey rocks and the hillside beyond are in Derbyshire whilst the reddish rocks where I am standing are a part of Staffordshire.<br /> <br /> This is a meeting point for four packhorse routes, possibly Medieval in origin. One enters the view from the top left corner (and is the most popular way of access), heading past the tree where it meets another coming forward down the valley joining at the left side of the bridge. A third track follows that right hand stream on the Derbyshire side whilst the fourth comes in from behind me but higher up. The bridge is an old packhorse bridge but when you look at the arch from underneath it is possible to see that it has been widened at some time. Just off shot right, that entering stream has flowed through a pool known as Panniers Pool above which is an original narrow packhorse bridge. In this shot all is very quiet and peaceful but it is not the case on weekends even though it is almost a mile from the main A54. It can be teeming with sunbathing families playing in the waters, walkers stopping for a rest, cyclists stopping for breath, off-road bikers (all the routes are &quot;Green Roads&quot;), even horse-riders and sometimes all together! It's better like this, though ;-)</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/andrewmowbray/">Andrew Mowbray</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/andrewmowbray/49938155523/" title="Windswept"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49938155523_2de35b73ca_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Windswept" /></a></p> <p>Looking down Wolfscote Dale.

It doesn't look much from a distance and we didn't even realise there was a path though it - but it proved to be well worth exploring. The small wooded area along a stream was filled with pine, oak and chestnut trees and there were lots of rhododendrons in full bloom. The narrow track made it's way up onto the moorland as part of a longer walk in yesterday's glorious weather.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/146211969@N06/">HighPeak92</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/146211969@N06/49937610013/" title="The Little Mill Inn, Rowarth, Peak District"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49937610013_a70e0a9bd2_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="The Little Mill Inn, Rowarth, Peak District" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/derbyshiredave/">daveh_72</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/derbyshiredave/49937824841/" title="Burbage"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49937824841_917d1fa4f2_m.jpg" width="240" height="240" alt="Burbage" /></a></p> <p>I took this just before lockdown was imposed. Seems so long ago!
