A a striking gritstone outcrop in the Peak District National Park, near Hathersage in Derbyshire.

It Offers panoramic views of the surrounding moorlands and valleys.
But it is a very popular spot for hikers, casual walkers, photographers and other outdoor enthusiasts. And can get crowded at the week-end.

The reason it is so popular with photographers is that: during sunrise and sunset, the light casts dramatic shadows and highlights the textures of the gritstone formations.
The area is also known for its vibrant heather, which blooms in late summer, adding a rich purple hue to the landscape.

In particular, it is easily accessible with a short walk from the Surprise View car park, situated along the A6187 road.
