A beauty spot of the South Pennines with more than 160 hectares (400 acres) of unspoilt woodland. As well as being the home of the northern hairy wood ant, there are tumbling streams, glorious waterfalls and stacks of millstone grit, all crisscrossed by more than 30 miles of footpaths. At its heart is Gibson Mill, a family-oriented visitor centre, telling the history of the valley over the past 200 years, with interactive displays, dressing up, dancing and exhibitions. Having no link to the national grid, the mill is unique in the UK and is the Trust's flagship sustainable building
- More than 30 miles of walking routes.
- Seasonal variations, with the autumn colours being particularly stunning.
- Spectacular springtime bluebells.
Four circular walks, ranging from three to seven miles. Staff and volunteer-led themed walks and guided tours of Gibson Mill. Christmas carols in the mill courtyard. Dogs under control at all times
