Old Glossop is the name given to the original old town on the eastern side of Glossop which itself was formerly called Howard Town. This is an attractive area with some fine 17th and 18th century cottages clustered around the Market Square and Cross. The parish church of All Saints is medieval in origin but little remains of the old church. The west tower dates from 1853 and the nave from 1915. It has an 18h century sundial. The Bulls Head is the oldest pub in Glossop and after a long walk a pint and a curry are well deserved - well worth a visit!!

Manor Park, set in 60 acres of gardens, woodlands and lakes, offers crazy golf, putting, bowling and tennis as well as a miniature railway and children's playground. Howard Park, although smaller, is equally pleasant. Glossop Brook runs through the centre of old Glossop making the perfect setting for a leisurely stroll. There is an interesting history trail around Old Glossop, which is also the location of "Doctors Gate", a footpath which leads up the Snake Pass and Pennine Way.

North of Glossop is the Longdendale valley, with a chain of five reservoirs and the Longdendale Trail, a cycle and walking trail through this picturesque valley, part of the Trans-Pennine Trail long distance footpath.
South of Glossop are the villages of Hayfield with its Sett Valley Trail and Little Hayfield, overlooked by Kinder Scout and popular with walkers and mountain bikers. The mill at Little Haywood survives, though it has been converted into flats, and the pub here is called The Lantern Pike after the sharply pointed hill which overshadows the place.
