Here in Manchester we’re lucky to have the impressive Peak District right on our doorstep. It’s a national park full of hidden gems waiting to be discovered, from caves with underground lakes, stunning walks and mesmerising waterfalls.
It’s also home to several ruins, which have been intriguing visitors for decades. One of them is the mysterious Errwood Hall, located in the beautiful Goyt Valley, not far from Buxton.
Nestled among the trees are the ruins of the once grand country house, which was built in the 1830s by Samuel Grimshawe, a wealthy Manchester businessman. The hall was part of a huge 2,000 acre estate. Grimshawe’s grandchildren were the last generation to live in the hall which was later demolished when the Fernilee Reservoir was built in 1934.
