Longshaw Estate

Longshaw Estate is an area of moorland, woodland and farmland within the Peak District National Park in Derbyshire, England.

There are remains from Bronze Age and medieval human settlement in the area.

There are two guidestoops (stone guide posts) from the early 1700s on the estate, required by an Act of Parliament[which?]

The Longshaw Sheepdog Trials have been held since 1898 and are supposed to be the oldest to be run every year in England.

[1] In 1928, Ethel Haythornthwaite spearheaded an urgent appeal to the Yorkshire public, which helped Peak District and South Yorkshire CPRE to raise the funds to buy the 747-acre (302 ha) Longshaw Estate, which was threatened with development.
