 The English Administrative County of Derbyshire
Not only were the Romans afraid of the wild hills of the High Peak, so that there remain in north Derbyshire only traces of three Roman settlements, Aquae (Buxton), Anavio (Brough, in the hope valley), and Melandra (Glossop), later invaders also either gave the High Peak a wide berth or took steps to tame it.
These rare Roman roads, leading across the hills from east to west, were strategic as well as commercial; they linked the road running north to Eboracum, our York of today, with that other road which ran northward over the causeway between the marshes, through Stockport and Manchester.
The hills are lower and softer in outline, there is no heather, and south of Matlock itself nothing of the outcrop rock so characteristic of the northern end of the county.
