Lantern Pike
Lantern Pike is a hill located just outside Hayfield, in Derbyshire, England. The land lies within the Peak District National Park and is owned and maintained by the National Trust. It is permanently open to the public. According to Ordnance Survey, it is 373 metres (1,224 ft) in height (measured by air survey).
According to the booklet 10 Walks Around Hayfield, published by the Peak District National Park Authority, the name Lantern Pike probably comes from the hill's use as a beacon.
The hill is a popular hiking destination, and is often considered a continuation of nearby Kinder Scout. The Peak District Boundary Walk runs south to north past the summit and the Pennine Bridleway crosses the eastern flank of the hill.
Lantern Pike gives its name to the Lantern Pike Inn in nearby Little Hayfield.

Ludworth Intake
Ludworth Intake (grid reference SJ994911) is a 5.1-hectare (13-acre) geological Site of Special Scientific Interest at Ludworth on the border of Derbyshire and Greater Manchester, England. It was notified in 1998 for its geological interest.
The site, north-east of Marple Bridge and south of Chisworth, comprises a sinuous dry valley running for about 400 metres (1,300 ft) south from Intakes Farm, cutting through a broad ridge running east–west. It is considered to have been formed by a meltwater stream running beside or below a glacier. Pollen analyses from the site show that the channel dates from before the Younger Dryas (around 12,900 to 11,700 years BP). It has been described as "an exceptional and nationally important example of an isolated col channel cut by glacial meltwater" and as having "considerable potential for further study". A public road, Sandhill Lane, runs parallel to the eastern side of the valley and cuts across its southern end near the former Ludworth Moor Colliery, which ceased operation in the early 1980s.
