Re: Room with a view 2
Thanks G, just the info I need.
Looking for an easy walk (one very slow sub-2-year old, and one heavily pregnant 35-year-old!!). Found a good website (www.peakdistrict.gov.uk) so I'll look up the places you've suggested on the map.
Cheers

The High peak and Tissington trails are very similar.
Some pubs may not like letting children in but most are OK. They are usually pretty busy (more so on a Sunday).

. Well, what a freezing cold day in the Peaks
. The wind was bitter and very strong. We ended up at Parsley Hey and had a bit of a walk on the trail, in the snow. Plenty of snow round Buxton way too, so it was an experience for Little HP as she hasn't played in snow before. A good day all round .

We had a similar view from our house when we lived in UK [we lived near Bronte country].
I don't miss those bloody cold wintery days...bbbrrrrrrr....

I only made it to the shop and back (mind you, that took nearly an hour!!). You probably went further than we did!! Little HP wanted to make footprints in the snow and was content just to jump up and down on the spot. It was bitterly cold and standing around not moving was torture!! Very very windy, but not so bad when the sun came out.Mr HP asked if I'd rather have swapped those temps for 20 degrees in Melbourne....to be honest, I would have settled for 10 degrees!!

We've been here nearly 20 months now.....and wished we'd done it years ago when the lads were younger [one boy still in UK
]All things considered, we made the right choice for us...... and are happy
