Abney , where the Derbyshire & Lancashire Gliding Club are based.
Abney is a secluded cluster of cottages nestling in a hollow, sheltered and protected from the surrounding high moors by an arboreal shield of trees. Located high above the Hope Valley, Abney is not far from the Great Hucklow Gliding Club on Camphill, which is now called The Derbyshire & Lancashire Gliding Club
and is close to Offerton Moor which is a beautiful heather-clad expanse containing rare and beautiful forms of wildlife. Abney Clough on the other hand is a secret wooded valley where paths and tracks wind down to cross over peat rich streams.

  • Just to avoid any confusion, the gliding club is officially at Camphill Airfield, Great Hucklow and its the Derbyshire and Lancashire Gliding Club. Having said that its very nice to be associated with the lovelly village of Abney. We frequently fly over Abney and use it and the other villages as reference points. If anyone would like to come to the airfield to visit and to find out more about us, you will be very welcome.

  • i dont like flying - but it does look amazing, great photography

  • What a great hobby, i might have to take a wander up there to watch.

  • Amazing things, lovely to see them floating through the sky with fantastic backdrops in the peak district!

  • Great video - still wouldn't catch up in a glider though. Bet the views are spectacular

  • such a peaceful place and with spectacular views. we often sit in the car with coffee and admire the hills

  • I but its very tranquil and breathtaking gliding along, just light wind noise and the beautiful scenery to take in. I'd love to give it a go someday!

  • Abney is a great spot for a gliding club. Those aerial shots are stunning & genuinely breathtaking - huge drop!!! Planes look so flimsy - love to have a go!

  • wouldnt get me in one for love nor money but looks fantastic

  • I think I would be terrified but what you can see from up there looks amazing
