In answer to a comment I received by email - no, there is no problem getting access to these ruins. You simply follow the footpath uphill from the car park near the reservoir. You can see more of it here: Erwood Hall

Hi buttercups50. The Peak District is one of the best places in England for walking. If you ever stay in Sheffield again it is easy to get a train out to stations such as Grindleford, Hathersage or Edale, which are good places to start walks. Recently I did a walk which starts from Grindleford station. You go up through a beautiful woodland called Padley Gorge and come out on Hathersage Moor, then walk up Higger Tor.
