Life in the pretty town that's five miles from Greater Manchester but feels a world away
While Glossop is just a few miles from Greater Manchester, the sleepy town feels worlds away. Located at the edge of the Peak District, the market town is known for its picture-postcard views and classic nearby walking routes including Kinder Scout.
However, 107 people living nearby the area submitted formal objections to the plans, with residents raising issues about the proposal including traffic fears, the noise of holidaymakers and the effect on the character of the town. “There is a mixture of people – people from Wales, London and people who have been here for a long time. There are also lots of professionals here from Manchester.”
“I like the grocery shops and Mettricks the butchers, which is one of the best in the world,” she said. We have a theatre and the main thing you’ve got here is the railway station which gets you into Manchester in half an hour. It’s also wonderful that so many different societies and groups operate here in Glossop.”
The vast, rugged expanses of Bleaklow lie to the northeast and Kinder Scout to the south, the highest point in the Peak District at 2,087 feet high. Only a few miles out of the town is the famous Snake Pass, a high, twisting road that leads through the most spectacular hills and moorland over to Sheffield.
