Sterndale Moor

On the limestone uplands south of Buxton, Sterndale Moor provides an ideal base for exploring the area and its unspoiled villages, whether by foot or on wheels. Within a radius of 5 miles are many amenities including accommodation, country pubs and cycle hire. The arrow-straight A515 follows the route of a Roman road, passing through a landscape not only carved out by nature, but with massive quarries and associated limeworks carved out by man. It is hard not to be impressed.
