Interesting article in today's Guardian Travel - In a league of its own
"Glossop, gateway to the Peak District, is shaking off its mill-town image, with cute shops and bars, art spaces and live music ..."
I like this description of the walking (this is from the version I get with my subscription, they changed the wording in the online version):

But tourists don’t visit Glossop just for the art, organic quinoa, or even the Curly Cornet cafe in Henry Street, which sells local Bradwells ice-cream. They come for the great outdoors, which begins barely 15 minutes’ walk from the station. The town sits atop a fistful of rambler’s ley lines, including the Longdendale Trail and the mother-lode that is the Pennine Way. It is heaven for hikers, fell-runners, mountain-bikers and horse-riders.
