Welcome to Sleet Moor

Sleet Moor is a beautiful and rugged area located in the Derbyshire Dales. It is a popular destination for hikers and nature enthusiasts due to its stunning scenery and diverse wildlife. The moor is home to a variety of plant and animal species, including heather, bilberry, and red grouse. Visitors can also spot birds of prey such as kestrels and peregrine falcons soaring above the moor.

One of the most notable features of Sleet Moor is its ancient burial mounds, which date back to the Bronze Age. These mounds are known as barrows and are believed to have been used as burial sites for important members of the community. The largest of these barrows is known as the Five Wells Barrow and is over 4,000 years old. It is a fascinating piece of history that visitors can explore and learn about.

Sleet Moor is also home to a number of walking trails, ranging from easy strolls to more challenging hikes. The moor is crisscrossed with footpaths that lead visitors through stunning landscapes and offer breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. Whether you are a seasoned hiker or just looking for a leisurely walk, Sleet Moor has something to offer everyone.
