The small town of Glossop is perched right at the top of Derbyshire where it borders, Cheshire, Greater Manchester and Yorkshire. Only ten miles from Manchester, yet with a rural flavour that embraces its elevated situation, Glossop is favoured by hikers, walkers and sightseers who want to combine rural relaxation with some urban exploration.  Glossop Barn Accommodation is a great way to find a base from which you can take in the local sights and routes. Known as the Gateway to the Peak District, Glossop sits right at the start of this National Park and nestles in the foothills of the Pennines, with Bleaklow to the northeast and Kinder Scout to the south. It lies on Glossop Brook, a tributary of the River Etherow, in the area of peat moorland commonly known as the Dark Peak. The moors which rise to over 600m, are cut by many deep V-shaped valleys known as cloughs, each formed by a stream known as a brook.
