The UK's first national park, the Peak District offers some of the most diverse landscapes in the country, from the limestone gorges in the south to the gristone escarpments of the north. These escarpments are like wounds in the landscape, and Stanage Edge is one of the most impressive. Cutting through the rugged moors, Stanage can be seen for miles around. Climbers scale its steep face, and ramblers walk giddily along the top.
It's thought that these wild landscapes inspired Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre - she stayed in nearby Hathersage while she was writing the novel. You can almost imagine her walking along the gritstone escarpment, the moors ablaze with purple heather, fallen boulders tumbling over each other.
This design shows the landscape in all of its sublimity, the wind-swept moors unfolding into the distance. And in the foreground, grindstones: areas of Stanage were once quarried to make these huge grindstones, many of which can still be seen today, carved but never removed. So why not indulge your love of the Peaks with this stunning tea towel?
