17/01/24 After the lowest overnight temperatures of the year, dawn breaks over the frozen landscape surrounding Minninglow in the White Peak area of the Derbyshire Peak District. Minninglow is the largest and most prominently sited cairn in the Peak District, just over a mile to the west of Aldwark. Surrounded by a beech plantation between the villages of Parwich and Elton, it is a landmark for miles around. Measuring 111ft by 144ft, the cairn consists of at least four chambers and has undergone a number of construction phases. The Low originally began life as a single chamber with a small mound comprised mainly of limestone probably during the Neolithic period. It was later covered by a long cairn with four chambers and later still converted into a massive circular mound, perhaps during the Bronze Age.
