Moss Valley, Derbyshire - Definition

Moss Valley is a valley in North East Derbyshire, just south of Sheffield. Nearby settlements include Eckington, Mosborough, and Ridgeway. The area used to be known for sickle and scythe production.

The Moss Brook, one of the cleanest streams in the area, runs down the valley and flows into the River Rother.

A 25.9 hectare strip along the bottom of the valley adjacent to the brook has been designated [1] (http://www.english-nature.org.uk/special/sssi/sssi_details.cfm?sssi_id=1000381) a Site of Special Scientific Interest by English Nature, particularly due to its value as a high quality habitat for invertebrates. This also includes about 5 hectares of the increasingly rare floodplain grazing marsh habitat.
