In 1916, Michael Sorensen, a Danish immigrant and sheepherder, pulled together enough money to buy 169 acres of land in Hope Valley.

Nearly a century later, Sorensen’s has undergone many changes and owners over the years, but the soul of the property and the undeveloped landscape that surrounds it has not. It’s what attracted the newest proprietor, founder and CEO of Wylder Hotels John Flannigan, to breathe new life into the mountain retreat.
Northern Powerhouse Rail final route to be agreed this month
Transport for the North (TfN) is nearing a decision on its preferred Northern Powerhouse Rail (NPR) network, with the final route to be agreed within weeks.
TfN director Tim Wood told a Westminster Policy Conference yesterday that the proposals will be given final consideration at this month s board meeting.
“The next step for the board is to review the latest cost and benefits data and reconsider and reach a final agreement on the preferred network,” he said. “This will happen this month at our 18 February board meeting.”
The network spans from Liverpool to Hull, Sheffield and the North East, and would begin construction in 2024/5. It also links fully with HS2, with shared track, stations and junctions in parts.

The season 8 trailer, which dropped Friday evening, opens with the brunette beauty taking off her wedding ring from her late husband, Jack Thornton, seemingly acknowledging that it’s time to move forward.
Rosemary Coulter (
Pascale Hutton), who has been a constant source of support for Elizabeth since Jack’s passing, lovingly assures her, “You lost your husband, but you will find your way.” The camera focuses tightly on Elizabeth’s hands as she slips off the ring.
