Sunday Snapshot | Sunset over Beeley Moor

Derbyshire life - A little Sunday snapshot of the sun setting over Beeley Moor in the Peak District.

This Bank Holiday Sunday Evening Snapshot started out as an epic fail for Tim and I! We'd headed over to The Wheatsheaf at Baslow in search of food, only to find they'd finished early and be redirected to The Highwayman (who also didn't have room for us). We resigned ourselves to heading home and ordering a pizza but, rather than waste the whole evening, decided to take the scenic route back to Matlock.

So so glad we did, as it was that perfect, golden time of the evening and we were inspired to abandon the car at the side of the road and take a sunset stroll along some of the country lanes that run through Beeley Moor and capture some stunning shots of that evening's sunset.

Everything was such a glorious shade of soft pink and iPhone photos really don't do it justice at all, but I hope you enjoy these images as much as we enjoyed taking them...

Sunday Snapshot | Among the Poppies

Come with me on a lazy Sunday stroll in the poppy fields of Bubnell, Baslow in the Peak District.

I do love a good summer Sunday drive-out. We are so lucky to have so many little nooks, crannies and gems to explore in the Derbyshire Dales and in the Peak District and the longer days and sunnier weather makes it criminal not to explore. Summer is also the time that the poppies are in full bloom in Bubnell, a little village tucked away in the Peak District, near Baslow.


This summer, the fields surrounding Bubnell Cliff Farm have come to life with a sea of brilliant red poppies (and some white if you can spot them). When you step across the road and into the field you are met with a vast wash of green and red that stretches way into the distance, where Chatsworth house is also visible in the background.

You are permitted to explore the fields to your heart's content, which is probably the reason there have been so many photos popping up on social media from locals and tourists alike. I couldn't resist snapping a few photos on my phone while I was up to my waist in beautiful flowers, and couldn't help but wish I'd packed my SLR, but this was an on-a-whim excursion, and I count myself extremely lucky that there are places like this practically on my doorstep to mooch around when the mood just takes you.

As with most of my Sunday Snapshot posts, I'm just going to let the photos do the rest of the talking. If you get chance to visit Chatsworth, or Derbyshire in general over the next couple of months, this spectacle is well worth a slight detour, especially on a sunny day.
