Private guided hike through Stanage Edge and the Peak District. The path climbs onto Stanage Edge (457m), one of the Peak District’s most famous escarpments with far reaching views across the valley and moorlands. On the escarpment we will pass Kiera Knightley Rock which was featured in the 2005 film of Jane Austen’s novel Pride and Prejudice. We descend through woods below the edge, and past Hollins Cross Car Park, then down into Hathersage, passing the entrance to North Lees Hall. In Charlotte Bronte’s novel, Jane Eyre, this is Thornfield, home of Mr Rochester. Parts of North Lees were also used for filming the 2005 Pride and Prejudice film and The Other Boleyn Girl (2008, starring Cate Blanchett). As this walk descends to Hathersage it offers contrasting variety to the edges with woodland, a lush green valley, and an option to pass the grave of Robin Hood’s legendary friend, Little John, in Hathersage Church graveyard.
