Bridges
A stroll from Rutland Sq down Bridge St brings you - not surprisingly - to the pretty medieval bridge over the River Wye, from where riverside walks lead in both directions. Go upstream through the water meadows, and then along Holme Lane to reach Holme Bridge, an ancient stone structure used by Peak District packhorses for centuries.

All Saints Church
Up on the hill above Rutland Sq, All Saints Church has some ancient Norman features, and even older Saxon stonework remains, including a tall cross in the churchyard, which sadly has suffered at the hands of time.

Old House Museum
Near the church, Old House Museum displays a Tudor loo and, also on a scatological theme, shows how early Peakland houses used to be made with materials including cow dung.
