Padley Gorge


Padley Gorge is a deep but narrow valley in the Peak District, Derbyshire between the village of Grindleford and Fox House, Sheffield. The gorge itself is woodland with a stream, the Burbage Brook down the bottom of the gorge. This stream used to be the boundary between Derbyshire and Yorkshire but is now in the middle of Hathersage Road (A625). Padley Gorge begins near Grindleford Station at a stile where a post has been installed. Although the valley continues up towards Hathersage Road and Burbage, the gorge finishes on the edge of the woodland. Padley Gorge forms the backbone of several walks in the area and the railway station approach road forms a convenient car park for walkers.
