Known for
Bleaklow and Kinder Scout (the wild Dark Peak on the doorstep), the Victorian mill town heritage, the Snake Pass, and a Derbyshire mill town between Manchester and the High Peak
A little history
Glossop grew as a cotton mill town in the 19th century under the Duke of Norfolk's patronage. The old market cross survives from the medieval settlement. The Snake Pass connects the town to Sheffield. Bleaklow and Kinder Scout — England's wildest moorland — rise immediately above.
The Dark Peak is genuinely accessible from Glossop — Bleaklow is one of the finest wild walks in England. The Snake Pass drive is extraordinary. Old Glossop village for the historic character.
