| Grin Low & Solomon's Temple | |
| Grin Low Caravan Club site is situated
just outside the Derbyshire town of Buxton which lies in
the centre of the Peak District National Park. Originally a quarry Grin Low is a lovely site which has been attractively landscaped, it also has a choice of beautiful walks in the area. |

| Tea is served! Ann and Cedric Bear enjoying baked potatoes. |
 |
| Early Saturday morning we awake to grey
skies yet again and after a hearty breakfast of bacon and
eggs Ann and I set off for the short walk to Buxton by
way of Solomon's Temple - built on the site of a
neolithic burial mound in 1896. The temple is a short diversion from our path down through Grin Low woods to Buxton and as the bacon and eggs were lying a bit heavy Ann decided to park her bum on a nearby park bench and await my return. |

| Solomon's Temple - Grin Low 439m | |
| Looking down to Buxton from the top of Solomon's Temple. |  |
| After a steep descent through Grin Low Woods we pass by Pooles Cavern and a little further on we arrive in Buxton town centre. |  |
| How does that old saying go: - Whatever goes down must come up mmmm something like that! Ann takes a well earned rest on the way back up through Grin Low Woods. |
 |
| We exit the woods and find ourselves on
the top of the quarry looking down over our caravan. We both enjoyed this lovely circular walk. |
 |
| After tea the clouds began to break so I
headed back up to Solomon's Temple just before dusk
hoping to get some decent pictures. I hung around for what seemed like ages but the sunset I was hoping for never really materialised, anyway here are a couple of my best shots. |
