Overview

Explore with us the fascinating White Peak landscape around Monyash and Flagg. Flagg is 1000 feet above sea level and famous for its well, which never failed to supply water to not only locals but farmers from miles around, and also for the point-to-point racing that takes place every Easter Tuesday on Flagg Moor.  The Limestone Way passes right through the village.
