Another gem brought to us by the Peak District’s leading web portal – Peak District Online, Bamford Edge in Winter is a beautiful video capturing another side of the Peak District. This time it’s swaddled in snow.

The famous grit stone looks cold & forbidding but then the music starts and we’re transported to a land of colour and vibrancy. Terry and his camera are truly a force of nature and this type of videography is obviously right up his street – or should we say escarpment? See the scale of the grit stone edge and watch a glimpse of the elusive cameraman himself as he steps out onto the exposed rock. His red coat silhouettes against the glorious back drop of the Lady Bower Reservoir below and the scenery is quite breathtaking. Eerie contorted rock formations and treacherous looking trails traverse the scenes covered in snow and ice.

With snow still heavy in the air, we don’t envy Terry being out in the cold, but we stare in wonder at the scenes playing out before us. The beauty of the Peak District is renowned but in Winter it has echoes of a Yorkshire moor covered but with hard edges meant to climb. A veritable home that Heathcliffe could inhabit – if he swapped his counties for a little while!
As the sun heats up the morning, the bleak midwinter scene transforms into warm rays of sunshine and the place takes on a whole new atmosphere. The warmth radiates from the rock faces and the scenery looks welcoming, enticing us walkers out of our beds and into the cold to discover the wonders that is Bamford Edge in Wintertime.
