Stanage Edge is an awesome gritstone escarpment standing high above Hathersage in the Peak District National Park.

It's a very popular climbing destination with hundreds of routes up the steep, slabby and sometimes overhanging cliffs. If you walk along the top, you're likely to meet climbers and if you walk along the rougher path below the cliff you can watch them.

The trail along the top of the edge is well made and offers a few miles of excellent walking with great views. There is a trig point at White Path Moss at the eastern end and another slightly higher at High Neb to the west.

Stanage Edge is a gritstone escarpment that affords breathtaking views of the Dark Peak moorlands and the Hope Valley. Wild, rugged and packed with character, it’s a popular place for hikers and climbers alike.
