Ollerbrook Clough is a picturesque valley located in Derbyshire, England. It is situated in the Peak District National Park, near the village of Edale. The clough, which is a local term for a steep-sided valley, is known for its outstanding natural beauty and is a popular destination for hikers and nature lovers.

The valley is characterized by its rugged terrain, with steep slopes covered in heather, mosses, and grasses. It is crisscrossed by a babbling brook that meanders through the valley, adding to its charm. The brook is fed by several small waterfalls that cascade down the rocky slopes, creating a soothing sound that adds to the tranquil atmosphere.

Ollerbrook Clough is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna. The valley is covered in a patchwork of heather moorland, grassland, and woodland, providing habitats for a variety of plant and animal species. Visitors to the clough may encounter native birds such as red grouse, curlews, and skylarks, as well as small mammals like voles and shrews.

The valley offers numerous walking trails, ranging from easy strolls to more challenging hikes. One popular route is the hike up to Kinder Scout, the highest point in the Peak District. This trail provides stunning views of the surrounding countryside and allows visitors to appreciate the grandeur of the clough from above.

Overall, Ollerbrook Clough is a natural gem in the heart of Derbyshire, offering visitors a chance to immerse themselves in the beauty of the Peak District's landscapes and wildlife.

Derbyshire Gritstone Sheep I met this couple near Grinds Brook north of Edale. The Derbyshire Gritstone sheep is one of the oldest of British hill breeds. It is believed to have originated on the hills of the Dale of Goyt (now better known as the Goyt Valley) on the edge of the Peak District around the year 1770 and was known in its early years as the Dale O’Goyt sheep.
