Consider this photograph. You could almost be forgiven for thinking that time had stood still. In many ways it has. This is a road in Old Glossop a beautiful small village nestled near the Peak District hills. Many of the houses date from the 18th century onwards and have kept their historical charm. In many ways it is similar to the West Yorkshire villages of Haworth and Heptonstall but without the tourists and shops. The village became known as Old Glossop when Glossop itself expanded and the larger town is located about ten minutes away. It is also popular with walkers starting out or returning from rambles over Bleaklow and Doctors Gate. Old Glossop is a quiet gem and an excellent place to visit for a Sunday lunch whether you're taking it easy or following a long walk. The Wheatsheaf, Queens Arms and Bulls Head all provide good food and drink (see links):
There are many landscape photography opportunities here. Apart from this view, try the stone pathways around All Saints church. There are the quaint stone houses near the river that look idyllic in the summer and especially when the flowers are in bloom. Look out also for the unassuming cobbled paths between some of the old houses higher up the village.
