Longshaw is a big mix of moorland, woodland and farmland within the Peak District National Park, run by the National Trust. It has Bronze Age and medieval remains, old gritstone quarries where millstones were cut, and paths in every direction. The visitor area has a cafe, and the estate is a good base for the walk to Padley Gorge and onwards to the edges.
