Does any body know much about he place?  Was looking at areas to live, and to be honest it looks quite nice!  Near to lots of country side, excellent links to Manchester, plus they have pretty fast broadband  :wink:

f**king pig to get through at the best of times, links to the sheffield side across woodhead and snake pass are frequently closed.

Fantastic countryside on the door step though

Depends, age wise I think average age is about 45ish, it is quite pricey for things like fuel as well being surrounded by miles of peaks. Heaving in summer as well, do get some nice 2 wheeled machinery passing through too.

I'd probably consider it if I was a bit older

As Slick says, a b!tch to get out of in the winter, both the snake & woodhead are plagued with rossi wannabe's all summer.

Beautiful countryside as you say, not sure about schools etc. though  :undecided:

Some bits look nice but some of the back areas look like any other council estate to be honest. Very bad traffic, been stuck there more times than I care to mention (I live at the other end of Woodhead)

I think if you continued looking around that general area of the north peaks you could find somewhere nicer with equally good links to manc :smiley:
