Wadsworth and Midgley Moors were my childhood playgrounds. I lived on the edge of them and would often head up to explore the quarries on a summer evening.
A wild and desolate place at times, they are also home to a number of ancient rocks and places that date back over centuries that make it into a magical landscape. These include .....
Churn Milk Joan. The final location for an unfortunate milk maid.
Robin Hood's Pennystone. A plague stone
The Millers Grave. Ancient burial site
It is a land of history, legend and folklore and a place I was forever grateful to grow up in.
