Sunday run 31st January 2016
Posted: Fri Jan 29, 2016 9:57 pm9.30 Hathersage. GR 229 815
A 2 hour (or more) run around this scenic area under the guidance of Hazel who has planned us a cunning route to make the most of traveling a bit further.
Stanage
Meet and park at the top of the high street where it exits the village. Or meet at Tucker's 8.40 to car share / directions. A good chance to gear fondle as well in the many outdoor shops.
Tea and cakes afterwards in one of the village cafes.
Hathersage is one of the more interesting villages in the area, with historical associations to Robin Hood and the Eyre family. The village centres around a road junction above the River Derwent, where the road to Sheffield branches off the route which follows the Derwent downstream. The ancient centre of the village was just above the church, which itself stands above and to the north of the modern village centre. On a knoll next to it there is an earthwork called Camp Green, which is probably Danish in origin.
