Best Nature and Wildlife Areas in Edale

"Climb up to Hen’s Cloud, go past the mysterious Doxey Pool and then across the Roaches to bag the Roaches trig!. The Roaches is a popular spot with climbers and rock enthusiasts. It is thought that wallabies (released from a zoo) roam the area, but we didn’t manage to spot any, so it may be a legend."

"The Roaches is located above Leek and Tittesworth Reservoir and is loved by hikers and climbers alike. The impressively rugged and steep gritstone ridge is home to mythical mermaids and 15 metre natural gritstone clefts."

"We spent a beautiful weekend in the Roaches and it is the best place for walking enthusiasts in the Peaks!. There are also some beautiful rock formations."

"The Round Walk is a 15-mile loop that covers all of the Sheffield landscape; from the urban buildings to the rural valleys. The loop is split into four sections, so you don’t have to do the full length. See the Beauchief Abbey in Sheaf Valley and Bishops’ House in the Gleadless Valley."

"Sheffield round walk starts from Endcliffe Park and is a 15-miles long walk. You can access the map of this place from their official website. This exclusive activity offers the most picturesque views."

"Stanton Moor is another beautiful area for easy nature walks through changing terrains. Throughout one walk, you can enjoy ancient mossy trees, open areas overgrown with gorgeous seas of purple Heather, birch growth, and a path taking you through the lush tall fern. There are also more than 70 ancient burial mounds upon the moor, and Bronze Age stone circles, constructed by the people who lived and worked there4,000 years ago."

Their 100 per cent Vegan offering is freshly prepared each day to traditional Punjabi recipes handed down through the generations of Ajanta’s family. Grab one of their fantastic, speciality thali trays for a tenner."

"It’s easy to make vegan Indian food, but it’s difficult to make great vegan Indian food. That’s what separates Ajanta’s Vegetarian from other Indian restaurants in the area: delicious, homecooked, and authentic Punjabi cuisine that’s been passed down from generation to generation. And for the quality of the food on offer, Ajanta’s is unbelievable value."

"It’s 100% vegetarian and 100% traditional, with recipes handed down over generations. From daal, thali trays at just £5 and even curries including Quorn, this veggie spot should be next on your list."

They’ve collaborated with the legendary team over at Drop Dead to create their very own vegan feast and believe us this duet is one not to pass by."

As well as selling delicious treats, this café serves a popular afternoon tea/brunch, from Thursdays to Sundays. A little different from other locations, And the Dish Ran Away With the Spoon requires advanced booking, but you can expect generous portions and typical English scones and cakes for an alternative style brunch."
