One of our days in the Peaks, my parents and I hiked up to Stanage Edge an hour or two before sunset. Stanage is a rim of rock that overlooks the surrounding countryside, and it is famous for rock climbing, as well as just being beautiful to walk along.
Going around sunset was really perfect, as the sun really made the rocks glow.
This spot was used in the most recent P&P movie for a scene during Elizabeth's visit to the Peaks, when she's standing on a cliff in the wind. And, let me tell you, they were not making up the wind for cinematic reasons- it truly was insanely windy up there!
We walked around along the top for quite a ways, enjoying the view and the sunset.
Eventually, closer to sunset, we decided to head back down to our car so that we wouldn't be walking down a rough stone path in the dark (as fun as that sounds...).
This was a great end to a beautiful, beautiful day. Given the UK's reputation for rain, I was so happy to have such nice weather!
