Thank you to the eagle-eyed Martin C for sending through this picture of a wild orchid spotted on Parwich Hill.
There are a few locations within a walk of the village where these fairly rare wildflowers can be seen in spring and early summer, always worth keeping your eyes peeled for them.

Posted in Out & About, Uncategorized, Young people on Thursday May 14, 2020| 1 Comment »
There’s a new Gruffalo trail now up and ready to follow, and it’s aimed at the younger members of our lovely village.
It begins with two sheets on the park near the play equipment, then two on the Green, with the remaining two hiding in the Pump Hill Garden.
There’s a printable check sheet and also the answers below should you need them.
Happy Gruffalo spotting!

| New recycled surface for Tissington Trail during winter closure |
|
A 1.4 mile section of the Tissington Trail we be closed temporarily from 7 December 2018, to allow surfacing and improvement works to take place. The Peak District National Park Authority confirmed the section involved will run from the Thorpe Car Park, and end at Spend Lane Bridge. Works are expected to be completed by the end of February 2019. The closure will see re-surfacing – including the use of 100% recycled, WRAP (Waste Protocols Project) approved aggregates, a widening of the route to support its multi-user status, and associated ditch and drainage works. The temporary closure will also allow tree safety management to take place. |

Thank youCheryl

Thank you to Alex S for alerting us to this nationwide event.
The National Trust are opening their doors to anyone who presents a National Lottery ticket or scratch card on Wednesday 13th December. It is to say thank you to National Lottery players for all the money they have raised which helps them look after places with important conservation projects.

Free Christmas Parking
Posted in Local government, Out & About, Transport on Monday November 20, 2017| Leave a Comment »
Thanks to DDDC for the following information:
For the 10th year in a row, Derbyshire Dales District Council is encouraging people to ‘shop local’ this Christmas by introducing free parking across the district from 1st December.
The free parking from 2pm throughout December comes on top of residents’ parking concessions that allow local people to park free every day of the year up to 11am and after 4pm.
This means Dales residents have free parking for 21 hours each day over the festive period, which helps local people and local traders.
Free parking extends to midnight each day and motorists are reminded not to leave anything valuable in their vehicles as the lead up to Christmas can also be a choice time for thieves.

Hoe Grange Quarry
The first Open Day for Derbyshire’s first Butterfly Reserve has been organised for Sunday the 23rd of July from 11 am to 3 pm.
Members of Butterfly Conservation East Midlands, including Ray Walker (Hon Warden), Derek Brownlee (Hon Assistant Warden) together with Pat and Ken Orpe will be able to show visitors around this abandoned limestone quarry where already 24 species of butterflies have been recorded including Dark Green Fritillary and the Peak District version of the Brown Argus. It will also be possible to see the work that many volunteers have done to enhance the habitat so as to increase the biodiversity at the site.
Directions. From the cross road in the centre of Longcliffe village, proceed in a north westerly direction towards Slipper Low Farm and just after the brow of the first hill, take the first left, just before a bungalow, and then proceed down a limestone track and park by the entrance gates to the Nature Reserve at the end of the track (SK222562).

There is a talk this Wednesday 26th October at Queen Elizabeth Grammar Schhol about Wigber Low which may be of interest to Parwich locals as Wigber low is quite prominent on the road to Ashbourne and is close to the the old medieval track from Parwich to Ashbourne which went via Knivetonwood.
There is also a display at Ashbourne Library for the next two weeks with some of the objects found at Wigber Low together with a storyboard display.
