Fire Risk in the Peaks: There have been numerous fires in the Peaks. These fires not only kill the ground level vegetation but also can go deep underground and destroy the underlying peat. There are signs all around the Peak District indicating that naked flames be they fires, barbecues, stoves or indeed any naked flames are banned in the Peak District. There is a hefty fine if these rules are broken. Take care when out walking and protect the Peaks. [July 2026]

Margery Hill

Margery Hill
Grid Ref : SK188957
Height : 546
OS Map : 110
Margery Hill is set in a significantly boggy area to the esat of the upper derwent valley. However all is not wet. There is a good path to within 400m of the summit and most days there is a good route to the trigpoint. There are good views from here especially to the north and Emily Moor maost, east over to Barnsley and a significant part of Yorkshire.
