What more could you ask for than fresh, raw milk ice-cream from Jersey cows?! It's truly delicious and my 8 year old has declared it his favourite ever, which is quite the statement from an ice-cream aficionado! Would highly recommend a trip out to anyone visiting or living nearby.

Arbor Low Stone Circle & Gib Hill Barrow

A prehistoric monument that was started in the Neolithic period, probably between 3,000 and 2,500 BC, consisting of 42 stones in a 40-meter diameter circle.

Reviewed By jacquelinee930

If you expect to see standing stones then this is not for you. However, it was obviously a very important place at some point in the dim and distant past. Although it’s managed by English Heritage it’s located on private land so there is a token £1 charge to enter. Payment is made via an honesty box just before you enter the farmyard. It’s a relatively short walk from the parking area through the farmyard before you turn left and head over 2 fields to the monument. There are a couple of information boards in the area which are worth looking at to get some idea of the importance of the site. The stoned themselves are impressive but so are the views you get from the top of the site. Brown signs make it easy to find from the A515.

Nice run out to Bakewell in the car from Sheffield on a sunny but cold November Sunday afternoon. Many cafe's and shops were open in accordance with COVID-19 rules (lots of queues outside etc.) but you could get fish and chips, cups of tea, snacks etc with ease. Bought some duck food from a local pet shop and fed the ducks whilst walking down the river. Really nice day.

We went to Bakewell to look for outdoor clothing, bakewell pudding and generally view the town. Popped in to the visitor centre and found a very warm and informative reception. No rush, answered the questions and generally made to feel welcome.
