Glossop DerbyshireGlossop

Glossop, on the western edge of the Peak District, at the foot of Snake Pass before the A57 climbs up and up over the National park.

The town owes most of its growth to the Howard family, the Dukes of Norfolk, even down to paying for a railway line in the 1820's as the official main line bypassed the town.

A town of two halves, Old Glossop, to the north was the original town with its market square, church and alms houses. The new, present day, town was the result of the cotton mills being built.

The old railway line is now part of the "Longdendale Trail", passing the 1877 series of  5 man-made reservoirs. A good walking base, with the Kinder Scout area taking you up to High Peak and down to Edale.
