"The Solitary Rambler" is my series of amateur films of my journeys in the countryside accompanied by my own musical scores, which I compose and perform on my Yamaha keyboard.
Please note that, as with all the films I make, this is not actually intended to be an extensive guide to the area. This is a mini-movie of my personal journey along the walk, in which I often share some of my own personal stories.

Absolutely beautiful place and so lovely walking tour, simply enjoyable content.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching 👍
Lovely walk again Patrick, that Hall building is very impressive. Great view of it walking towards it. Take care and all the best.
Glad you enjoyed it John, yes Haddon Hall is impressive indeed. Many thanks for watching 👍
brilliant again pat, and dont worry your not isolated we are always with you on your amazing peak district vids 👍
Thanks Graham for the kind words 👍
Hi Patrick, thank you for your wonderful films, great work. My wife and I have just finished binge watching them whilst it rains once again outside. Hopefully we will bump into you one day whilst out on the trails and say hello. Take care Bryn. Oh and us Derbyshire folk call those narrow stiles “squeezers”😀
Glad you like them Bryn, many thanks for taking the time to watch! I am out a lot without the camera, so chances are you will bump into at some point. Squeezers, a great name, thanks for sharing that! 👍
Greetings from Canada again, Patrick! Been awhile since I had the opportunity see a post and comment. We're up to our knees with snow in some places, and I love it. I still run in the winter with a safe cut-off temp of -25 Celsius. The Army days are still with me. That view of Lathkill Dale and River? Priceless, isn't it? You are a fine ambassador for the Peak District as your love for the place is obvious. We will have a pint and ramble together sometime, Friend. In the meantime, cut out the processed sugars and you will fit through the stone fences much easier! This is coming from a chef, mind you. It would be cruel to ask of anyone to give up a pint now and then. So...back to MS Teams.Uggh!! Cheers.
Hi again William from snowy Canada! We're probably due some of it here soon, although not on your scale of course. I'm not a big drinker you understand, on average I only drink once a week, but I do enjoy it when I have it, pure bliss 😊 Thanks for watching and all the best 👍
I went to Haddon Hall when there was a craft event; lovely and unusual things to buy, very enjoyable. I bought a candle holder made of wood which is beautiful. Thank you Patrick!
Nice one Maureen, many thanks for watching 👍
Hi Patrick,
I watch your vidios with total pleasure.
They mix nostalgia, fond memories, special times. My Great Aunt lived in Youlgreave. I love those memories.
D x
Many thanks David, glad you enjoy the videos. Youlgreave is a lovely place 👍
Thanks for providing map in description, this way I could follow as well. That's one of the most important bits .
Cheers
Nice one, thanks for watching 👍
Yet another beautiful walk..thanks….let’s hope that life Awesome video ! I enjoy it so much
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching! 👍
Absolutely adored this video Patrick. Over Haddon...Soooo pretty; Haddon Hall, incredible and as for the views from the pub they are as good as one would get from any pub, Peak District or otherwise. My wife is chosing a camp site for me to book today (I have given her 4 to pick from in the Ashover area) and this is a walk we MUST try and do. Thanks for the inspiration and your hard work and effort as always. Brilliant stuff, thank you and the music? Absolutely perfect for the video.
Glad you enjoyed it Jeff, yes the Lathkil Hotel has lovely views. Would certainly recommend it here when you're in Ashover. Thanks as always for your kind words and for watching 👍
I totally agree Patrick, Lathkill is one of my favourite dales and the village is a favourite too. I remember the tea shop halfway up the steep path from the Dale. So welcome. Great walk. thanks.
Thanks again. Yes you'll have seen from this that Lathkill Dale is a personal favourite and that I love the village too! I don't remember a tea shop on that steep path, perhaps it was before my time, but th4re used to be one in a resident's garage on Main Street, however, that's been gone a long time now 👍
Beautifull video with stunning views.Your music fits really well with the visuals.My wife and I were at the craft fair at Haddon Hall on the Friday.Some wonderful crafts on display,plus good food and coffee.You have an excellent way of presenting your walks.Thank you Patrick.
Thank you very much Heyden! Glad you enjoyed this and thanks again for all your comments and for watching 👍
I too loveHaddon Hall. It was used as the setting for one of my favourite films Elizabeth which makes it extra special to me. Think I will try this year as it’s by the beautiful Lathkill Dale.
It was lovely being able to visit Haddon hall during the Christmas market. I remember it being used in a Jeremy Brett Shelock Holmes episode, Chatsworth being in the same episode too. I also seem to recall Haddon Hall was in a version of Jane Eyre 👍
Enjoy your landscape videography and commentary of the locations. Thank you for sharing with everyone.
Thanks for watching, pleased you've been enjoying this 👍
Hi Patrick. Another polished production. Lucky with the weather. Cheers from NZ.
Many thanks Chris, all the best 👍
It was lovely sharing your walk and visit to Haddon Hall. Very versatile seeing different aspects on your films. Must give a break for you too.( We often do short walks for a change too.) Also sharing your thoughts on current lifestyles, almost like being there on the walk with you. Once again lovely melodic theme to your music Patrick. Very well produced.
Many thanks as always Shanita. This was a fairly easy one to one due to the short walk. Glad you enjoyed the music again and any thoughts I share, I like to do that when I can. Have a great weekend 👍
Another great film Patrick. I did this walk as part of a much longer one back in the mid 1990s. Unfortunately, on the day I did it, the rain bucketted down and the wind was blowing a gale.....
Thanks Paul, looks like I was lucky then with the weather, but then as I live so close I can pick and choose my days! 👍
Incredible quality as always. thanks for the journey :)
Glad you enjoyed it Carol and Derek! Many thanks for watching 👍
Enjoyable walk yet again. Nice to see inside Haddon Hall and its grounds again; I've had a few pleasant days there.
Many thanks Michael, yes Haddon Hall is a great place. It was lovely to have the opportunity to go inside whilst the Christmas market was on 👍
I will definitely be doing this walk Patrick. We have passed Haddon Hall many times on our way to Bakewell and looked at the footpath going up the hill and said we will have to go up there one day but not knowing where it went. but know we do. Great video by the way, thank you 👍
Nice one Alex, many thanks for your comments and for taking the time to watch 👍
Your videos somewhat remind me of Tony Robinson’s Walking through Britain documentaries. I love it.
Thanks for the great comments and for taking the time to watch!👍
Brilliant video. Love that area of the Peaks. Nice to see the youth hostel and relive your early memories of the place again. Funny how you bump into fellow TH-camrs when out on your travels. It happens more than you would think.
Hey Leigh, thanks for watching again. Yes I enjoy visiting places of which I have long ago memories, so it was great seeing the YHA. I think Jennifer is the first TH-camr I've bumped into surprisingly. Sure there will be others at some point. All the best 👍
Thank you for another great upload Patrick! Have a wonderful weekend 😀
Thanks again Richard, have a great weekend too 👍
Yet another beautiful walk..thanks….let’s hope that life,as we know it, will be back to normal by the end of the year
Many thanks Linda for watching as always. Yes fingers crossed for things being back to normal very soon 👍
A lovely ramble
Thank you young Steve 👍
Brilliant only just found your videos i cant stop watching them they are so good :)
That's great to know, thank you so much! 👍
great base hotel for a weeks holiday,video a1 as always,well done
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching 👍
Stunning Patrick ...you summed it up as you stood there at the end overlooking lathkill dale... i didnt realise youd been working from home....well i hope things will improve real soon .. i on the other hand had to carry on from the start being a postman hasnt been easy walking the streets by myself at the beginning .. anyway we go forward ... so thank you once again for another wonderful video...take care regards from myself and lee......
Many thanks Frank and Lee. The ovew over Lathkill is pretty awesome eh. Yes I've been working from home since the start of Covid. I do out on site two days a week which helps, but I'm still lone working doing that part of the job. We do indeed go forward so lets hope things are better soon. Thanks as always Frank and Lee 👍
Now then Patrick I think Haddon Hall is an 'Antiques Roadshow' dream. Can you imagine one there? I can. Fantastic short walk. Of course tempted by the pub views and they were and are good. The whole area in fact is worth a good bit of time what with the dale to. I reckon you need a bit of practice at that musical instrument though. Mind you your music here is always top notch. Take care. See you again. Mark
Indeed Mark, I do believe Haddon Hall has hosted the Antiques Roadshow before now, but it's a grand place for that isn't it. Glad you liked the pub views. That dale is just fab and only up the road from where I live. Haha yeah I think I'll stick to playing my own instrument and let my friend Matt do the organ grinding 😂 Thanks for watching Mark and all the best 👍
@@solitaryrambler I didn't know that about the hall but a good call then. Yeah, it was all good Patrick pub and all - hey even the organ-good fun!
Wow so
So
Good amazing perfect nature
Many thanks! 👍
Blinking brilliant. This was an excellent effort even by your high standards Patrick. Loved the accompanying score too!! No wonder you love that walk, its breathtaking. Thanks for this!😁
Many thanks Eric! Pleased you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching 👍
@@solitaryrambler Its great, keep them coming!!
Great video. I'd love to have visited the market. Have a great weekend. 👏
Many thanks! Yeah it was great to see the market. All the best 👍
That was nice. Where did Christmas go? That must be a thankless task, turning that wheel on the organ all day. You don't see many of them anymore. A really good place to visit especially with a pub with glorious views. Thank you, it was really enjoyable 😁
Thanks Kelly, yes Christmas has come and gone again! Matt and his dad have been turning that wheel for years, it's a family business, but yes I guess is pretty thankless too. Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching as always 👍
Very good my friend
Many thanks 👍
Privet! Top of the list! I came. I saw. I liked. I subzcribed! you've got traction. Good going!
Awesome! Thank you! 👍
Patrick another fantastic walk ! cannot wait till May when we are coming back to the peak district again , can you arrange for one of your real ale outings please !! ha . We are going to be based in Bakewell so really looking forward to that. Especially Lathkill dale that looks amazing !!
Thanks Russ, yes you'd enjoy the ale trips. Not done one now for some years due to Covid, so don't know if and when they'll start again anytime soon. When you're in Bakewell in May you can walk to Lathkill Dale from there 👍
@@solitaryrambler brilliant Patrick thanks for that ! cant wait
I have watched all your videos they are amazing.i love walking.i have done the lathkill dale and the Bradford.i have also done a walk from chatsworrh to the hunting tower.i would love to go on a walk with you.but I only like easy walks.
Morning, thank you for your kind comments and for taking the time to watch the videos, much appreciated 👍
Another good one thanks Patrick
Many thanks! 👍
Great vid again.. Lovely too see Haddon Hall.. Passed it many times and never been.. So thankyou for the insight.. Can't believe we are 2mth on from this vid.. Looking forward too some spring vids... Never feel isolated we are at the other side of the lense.. My hubby has felt same.. Onwards and upwards.. Lv Ali /R x
Many thanks Ali, glad you enjoyed seeing Haddon Hall. It was a great opportunity for me to get in there whilst the Christmas market was on. not sure when I'll begin making films this year, but it's normally around spring when the days are longer again and the weather is warmer. Thanks for your kind comments Ali 👍
@@solitaryrambler Yr welcome.. Look forward too them.. We've plenty to go at.. ☺️
Thank you for another fine film, Patrick. Although you reach a wide audience, the walks are most enjoyable as the presentation is so personal & intimate. Haddon Hall is a very beautiful location !
Many thanks as always! I'm pleased my personal presentation is enjoyed by others. Haddon Hall is certainly beautiful. Thanks for watching 👍
Great walk Patrick, love The Lathkil Hotel. They always have a great choice of beers
Forgotten how good the weather was late November last year
Thought you'd probably know the Lathkil Hotel well Ged, I like the beer there too. November was pretty good weatherwise wasn't it 👍
Thanks for this, we're just about to visit the Peak District for the first time and your lovely videos have given us lots of ideas. I know what you mean about the Covid isolation as well! Tell me, do you ever find all these travels on your own quite lonely? I don't think I would have had the courage to do it when I was single, but I wish I had!
Many thanks for watching and for your kind comments! I wouldn't say I'm lonely as I'm out all day shooting these films, so I wouldn't ask anyone to be with me during a long filming day. It would be nice to share a normal walk (without the camera) with someone though. Hope you enjoy your visit to the Peak District 👍
Lovely video and channel,have a lovely weekend and stay safe debs xx new fan..........
Hi Debs, many thanks for watching and for stopping by! Have a great weekend too 👍
@@solitaryrambler My please you have a lovely channel debs xx
Thank you for another very enjoyable film patrick. Can not wait for the next one. Have a great weekend.
Thanks Luke, have a great weekend too 👍
Hi Patrick. Have been watching your very interesting videos for some time now and I just wanted to say how much more professional your videos now are (not that they were ever anything other than interesting). Keep up the good work! We are off in our caravan to Haddon Grove in March - inspired by your walks in the Lathkill Dale area.
Many thanks Tom, that's kind of you to say so. Glad the Lathkill Dale films have provided some inspiration too. Have a lovely time there in March 👍
@@solitaryrambler Hi Patrick. Just to confirm that we had a fantastic weekend based just outside Monyash near to the Lathkill Dale entrance. Weather was perfect. The first day we walked towards Sheldon and visited the Magpie Mine before dropping down to Over Haddon and turn right up back towards Monyash. Heard and saw a Curlew whilst we were at the mine. A great day. The next day we walked downstream to Youlgreave. Thanks for the initial inspiration to take our caravan there - it's so quiet compared with the Castleton area and equally beautiful in its own way. Tom.
Another really good video Patrick. It looked like you had a Camcorder on a tripod when walking ? I saw the shadows but could be wrong ....
I used to have a nice Sony 4K Camcorder. I don't think I knew what I was doing with it really.
Your video footage is really nice and sharp. It looks really great on a big TV.
It's amazing how this Peak District has so many great views. But it relies on you to bring it to TH-cam.
David.
Many thanks David. Yes the shadow of my Sony Handycam and tripod gave the game away there! 😂 I had a bit of a problem this particular day as, although the weather was lovely, the shadow of the camera showed if I pointed it one way, but pointing it the other I'd get the rays of the sun overpowering the shots, which did show in a few of the scenes in this. I'd love to get a 4k camera, but that will have to happen one day in the future. I've always been very happy with the HD footage my current camera produces though, as you say it is really sharp. My video editing software also manages to bring out the colours a little more too. Thanks for watching David and all the best 👍
Great footage for HD quality Patrick. Great video again. ! The shadows weren't a problem like. !
Wow🥰
👍
Great channel 👍 subscribed. I would love to relocate and get an engineering job near to the peak District .
Many thanks for subscribing 👍
Another lovely walk Patrick. I’ve never been to Haddon hall so thanks for sharing this one. The grounds look lovely. Like a mini Chatsworth! The organ looked good fun by the way. Seemed like you had a very good time there. Looks like you’ll be able to get back into the office in the not too distant future with the latest announcement. I quite like the lack of a commute but agree with you that seeing people on Microsoft Teams isn’t quite the same is it?
Glad you enjoyed it Anthony, Haddon Hall is a mini-Chatsworth in a way and I took the opportunity to get in there whilst the Christmas market was on to get those shots within the hall and grounds. Yes it was fun being the organ grinder for a few minutes! 😂 Not sure what's happening with us yet with regards to working back in the office as we have to wait until we're advised, so we'll see. I'll certainly be glad to see people in the flesh again as opposed to faces on a laptop screen! 😂 Thanks Anthony for watching and commenting 👍
Very informative and helpful video / Add member👍🔔
Many thanks for watching! 👍
Haddon Hall reminds me of WIND IN THE WILLOWS. I was disappointed that Toad ,Ratty, Mole, and Badger were not at the fair.
Thanks for watching, perhaps I missed those characters at the fair 😂
Patrick, will you ever do a walk inspired by the film Withnail and I?
Sorry Louie, not sure I understand? I saw that film once a very long time ago but don't remember it well 👍
@@solitaryrambler They go to Penrith. I thought you may be familiar with it and do a walk of the filming locations. Never mind though if you’re unfamiliar.
I miss your channel
👍
In the process of copying this walk. Haddon hall just in view😁😁
👍
Great video Patrick. It all appears so peaceful & tranquil.
I fully understand your view on Microsoft Teams, it’s served its purpose but looking forward to normality returning. However I do feel Teams and Zoom won’t disappear altogether & it can be useful in some circumstances.
Gosh! I haven’t seen an organ like that in years! It makes a good noise. Seems appropriate for the season, 12 days of Christmas. I do like a Christmas market.
Thanks for taking us along with you on this walk. A very enjoyable watch. 😊
Morning Rachel, many thanks for watching 😀This is a very easy "there and back" walk really, but it's just nice to visit Over Haddon as it's so lovely and then stroll across to Haddon Hall whilst it's open and those views over Lathkill on the way back is what makes this walk for me. That old organ was great wasn't it! My friend Matt is continuing his Dad's family entertainment business, which is nice to see. The market at Haddon was lovely and it was the perfect opportunity to get some shots whilst the hall was open. I think Teams is definitely around for some time yet as my work colleagues and I won't be going back into the office anytime soon. We shall see! 😊 Anyway thanks again Rachel for taking the time to watch and really good to finally meet you on the walk yesterday. Enjoy the rest of your weekend 👍
Hello Patrick thank you another very pleasant walk with some outstanding views as always we love them its just that little bit home you bring to us here . :)
You are very welcome Shaun and thank you too for all your support to my channel 👍
Awesome video ! I enjoy it so much . Have a nice week-end my friend !
Glad you enjoyed it, many thanks for watching! 👍
Over Haddon looks to be a very pleasant village indeed, Patrick. The views as you say from the pub look spectacular. Haddon Hall is such a lovely building, and it's the first time that I've seen many views of it, from outside and near the river. A lovely area, and many thanks for this production for us all to see.
Over Haddon is just up the road from me. I always love going there to enjoy a drink at the Lathkil Hotel and look over the views from it of the dale. Haddon Hall is a wonderful place. Thanks Ffranc for watching and commenting 👍
Hi Patrick , you have as always put together a great video . Haddon Hall is lovely and Lathkill Dale is so beautiful ,hope you have a great New Year !
Many thanks for the kind words again Bill, hope you have a great New Year too! 👍
