We are looking ideally for a house in Marple Bridge but obviously there's few on the market in this small area.

We don't want to go further than New Mills but what areas around Marple Bridge give the same feel? 40s, no kids, dog, want a garden, quiet, not main road and safe to walk with parks and rural spots. Desperate to be in the countryside as much as possible but need to get to London once a month for work and partner travels to Midlands once a week.

Appreciate this gets asked a lot but I am just so lost trying to figure out what the surrounds are like and can't hold out forever for Marple Bridge in case it never happens. No house to sell. Thanks

So basically my girlfriend has always said she would want a private proposal and I know she LOVES nature. So trying to find somewhere with a good view that isn’t a big hike to get there’s and we can sit down and have a picnic privately. Anyone got any recommendations of areas? Thank you

My little girl wants to go to Dovedale during the Summer holidays. I've said that I will try to sort it for her but normally Dovedale is a place I avoid during the holidays (that said, I haven't actually been there in a few years).

So, has anybody been recently? How busy has it been? Is there a time I should aim for with regards to the car park before it is full?

Would it actually be better to look at parking in Milldale and walking from that side? I've never parked at Milldale so not sure what it's like, let alone cost.

Next week I'm staying in Bakewell and wondering if anyone has any ideas where to watch the eclipse from?

I expect places like Mam Tor will be heaving so not even going to attempt there. We have a car and stay here regularly so know it fairly well. Is there anywhere high you'd recommend trying to get a good view?
