9 . Familyfriendly Walks
Padley Gorge
Next to Grindleford Station, eight miles north of Bakewell, lies Padley Gorge. Trails are kept as natural as possible—it’s more a case of finding the gaps in the woods than following a path.
Longshaw Estate
The 1.7mile walking route around this National Trust estate skirts the upper end of Padley Gorge. Children love the stepping stones, though Longshaw is mostly all about the giant fallen trees, left in place for little hands and feet to delightfully climb over.
Higger Tor
A pile of giant rocks dominates Higger Tor. Walk through the nearby fields, then let the kids climb over hundreds of strangely smooth grey stones. The views out over the Hope Valley are great and impressive, and the rock pools in Burbage Brook are perfect for rowing in.
Stanage Edge
Popular with rock climbers, this stone cliff marks the boundary of the mysterious land of the Dark Peak cliff and the grasscovered flat land of White Peak. It’s a six miles circular walk from Hathersage. Alternatively, park at the Hollin Bank Car Park and climb half a mile to the top, out of breath.
Chatsworth House
A threemile circle from Calton Lees Car Park takes in a ruined factory, the pretty village of Edensor and views of Chatsworth House. Appreciate the stretch along the River Derwent—deer often hang out there.

10 . Check out 4 strange-but-true attractions in America
Bubblegum Alley
SAN LUIS OBISPO. CALIFORNIA
Bubblegum Alley is covered from top to bottom with chewed gum, a tradition that was started mysteriously by the locals in the 1950s. Some artists even created images of funny faces and the American flag. Unhappy community members had the “masterpiece” removed twice. But the clean-up didn’t stick, and soon more gum appeared. Now the alley has more than two million pieces of gum on it.
Giant Penguin
CUT BANK, MONTANA
Bundle up when you visit this statue, because temperatures here can get as low as 47 degrees below zero. As a nod to the frosty conditions, a local businessman built the 27-foot-tall penguin out of 10 000 pounds of concrete. The creator left for warmer weather, but the statue- seven times the height of a real emperor penguin-still stands, welcoming visitors to its cold home.
Tin Family
REGENT, NORTH DAKOTA
This Tin Family appear along the Enchanted Highway, a 32-mile stretch of road displaying seven huge metal sculptures. A group of farmers constructed the family using materials such as oil tanks and wire. Tin Son is 23 feet tall, Tin Ma is 44 ft. and Tin Pa stands 45 feet tall.
Blue Whale
CATOOSA. OKLAHOMA
Not ready to dive the depths of the ocean to see a blue whale? No problem. Just visit this 80-foot-long concrete beast, which even has a side and diving board so visitors can take a swim in the pond. When the artist died,the whale fell into bad condition. Neighbors couldn’t stand to see the whale fall apart. so they fixed it and now keep it bright with blue paint.
