    Minning Low is the largest and most prominently sited cairn in the Peak District, 2km to the west of Aldwark. Surrounded by a beech plantation 500m to the east of The High Peak Trail between the villages of Parwich and Elton, it is a landmark for miles around. Measuring 34m by 44m, 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.

    Town Well submitted by Creative Commons Town WellHoly Well in Derbyshire. Tissington is known as the mother place of well dressing and visitors come from all over the world to witness the annual well dressing ceremony. This takes place on Ascension Day, when five attractive wells are dressed together with a children’s well. Well dressing is a custom found primarily in or near Derbyshire and, although the Church at one time banned the custom as water worship, the wells are often decorated with Christian themes. Well dressing is thought to go back to Pagan times, a ritual performed to give thanks for the supply of fresh water. Another school of thought claims that the Romans introduced the custom into Britain, the philosopher Seneca stating that – " where springs or rivers flow we should build altars or make sacrifices." Whatever the true origin, Tissington, recorded as dressing a well in 1349, is the oldest authenticated instance of well dressing in Derbyshire. It is probable that well dressing took place in 1350, in thanksgiving for the Tissington's escape from the Black Death, which was attributed to the purity of its water.

    The Brailsford Cross The Brailsford CrossThe Brailsford Cross, Derbyshire. In the churchyard of All Saints at Brailsford stands a Saxon/Norse cross, dating from 1000-40 AD. It has a sort of rounded bulbous shaft that tapers towards the top. Carved upon it a crude figure, probably a Viking warrior drawing his sword. Below that some Saxon interlacing. Weathering has, unfortunately, got to the lower part of the shaft. Apparently, the shaft was excavated from beneath a medieval cross. When its steps were dug up the pre-Conquest shaft was lying below that. The cross-shaft sits in a socketed base, near the porch, that is more recent in date. All Saints church houses a rather nice octagonal, Perpendicular font that has a Tudor rose carved on its base.

    St Wystan's (Repton) Early Christian Sculptured Stones & Saxon Crypt in Derbyshire St Wystan's, Repton is hugely significant, being the main home of the Mercian royal family for near 300 years. Due to the considerable spread of Mercia at the time, it is also arguably the site of a former capital of Great Britain, as we now have it. A near perfectly preserved Saxon Crypt is the main must-see attraction, with some fragments of Saxon stones in the porch, and some mounted on the walls. See the official Church Website for extensive details for everything you would need to know. It also has the tallest spire in South Derbyshire, and situated next to the noted school, it is hard to miss.

    Leave the bike tied up and walk for about 1 mile along the upper ridge above the River Trent. The Rock Shelter is atmospheric and well worth a visit!
