    Tips

    The footpath along the summit is commonly known as Giddy Edge, unfenced and not recommended for small children . There is a small metal handrail afixed to the inside edge (of the cliff) totally spectacular.

        Very impressive views over Matlock Bath from the edge of High Tor. Some places have good fences to stop you falling - others don't! Take particular care of any children as you can suddenly reach a massive drop unexpectedly.
