In August 1650, forty years before the infamous Salem Witch Trials, Newcastle hosted one of the most shocking mass public executions of those accused of witchcraft.  And while the vast majority of those accused, imprisoned or executed for witchcraft were women, that April day also saw a lone male hung for the charge.

Arbor Low certainly has an ambience about it.  Set on a hill, ancient, panoramic views, windswept and weathered, secluded (the adjacent farm the only house for miles) – it is certainly an atmospheric location, especially when under moody skies.  So, if you’re in the Peak District, do pay it a visit
