A Millstone Grit edge or escarpment. Derwent Edge is notable for the selection of Tors along the ridge. Back Tor to the north is the highest point with a trig point. Erosion was a big problem along here so the Peak District National Park installed a flagstone path along the main edge, sticking to this reduces the impact and keeps you out of the puddles.
Derwent is the first edge on the Nine Edges challenge route.
