Hazelton Clump

Sitting above the village of Blore, this limestone ridge in the White Peak is crowned by its namesake woodland 'clump.' It offers a quiet perspective on the southern Peak District, looking across the Manifold Valley toward the steep limestone flanks of Bunster Hill and the iconic pyramid of Thorpe Cloud.

• •The name likely derives from the Old English 'hæsel' (hazel) and 'tun' (farmstead), suggesting the hill was historically associated with hazel cultivation or a nearby settlement defined by the trees.
• •Looking south from the summit area, the distinctive profile of the Weaver Hills is clearly visible, marking the official southern terminus of the Pennine chain.
• •The hill overlooks Ilam Park and the Manifold Valley, serving as a peaceful alternative to the often-congested paths of nearby Dovedale.
• •Despite the name, do not expect a sprawling forest; the 'Clump' is exactly as advertised—a small, tidy collection of trees that looks significantly more substantial on an OS map than it does when you are actually standing under it.
