About Padley Gorge

Padley Gorge

The wooded ravine known as Padley Gorge is only a stone’s throw from civilisation, but feels like another world entirely. Located close to the A6187 on the border between Derbyshire and Yorkshire, it lies at the eastern edge of the Peak District National Park. Here, ancient oak and birch trees grow along gentle slopes, forming the most wonderful twisted shapes, and in the valley below a crystal-clear stream, Burbage Brook, rushes across rocks.
