About Glossop.
Handsome market town Glossop is the north western gateway to the Peak District and Derbyshire - close to the rugged moorland and wide-open spaces of the Dark Peak.
Nestling at the foot of the famous Snake Pass, it’s an excellent base for exploring some of the area’s classic walking country, including Black Hill, Bleaklow, Kinder Scout and the Longdendale Valley.
But there’s also plenty to interest visitors in picturesque Old Glossop, dating back to the 12th century, with its pretty stone cottages and medieval market cross. Manor Park, originally the grounds of the manor house of the Duke of Norfolk, is a popular spot for picnics, safe play and special events.
Shoppers can browse in everything from specialist independent shops to famous national stores on the bustling High Street, with its broad York stone pavements and welcoming vibe.
Here you’ll find everything from specialist books, original artwork and designer clothes to mouth-watering, award-winning local produce ranging from quality meat to craft beers, plus regular indoor and outdoor markets.
And if you fancy a well-earned break over coffee, lunch, afternoon tea or dinner, there are lots of cafés, pubs and restaurants to whet your appetite. Take time, too, to sample some warm Glossop hospitality in the town’s real ale pubs and venues and enjoy some of the best live music in the area.
The Ecotek Difference
As a responsible, ethical business we've devoted years of research into looking at the way homes can be designed, built and used more economically.
In every room, the first thing you'll notice is the way we care as much about the little details as the big details.
Well-placed windows that welcome natural light into well-designed spaces, eradicating the need for an abundance of artificial light. Completely electric, smart meter-controlled environments that make it easy to monitor and minimise energy usage. Fixtures, fittings and appliances that are individually selected for their clean lines or smart energy efficiency and an EV charger fitted to every house as standard. The fruits of our labour are all waiting to be discovered at The Crowberries.
So what's with the name?
The Crowberry bush is an evergreen, heather-like shrub prevalent in upland areas like The Peak District. Growing in clusters along the stem, it thrives in soil which is damp and acidic, emerging with a pinkish hue before turning red and ripening to black. Just as every home we build is designed to help the environment, so the Crowberry has traditionally been used to help restore and stabilise peat and protect it from erosion, aiding carbon capture and enhancing the biodiversity of the moors.
And as the name suggests, we're introducing it into our new community, too. The bushes will be planted around the development!
