There's a certain irony to a summit named Black Edge having such a startlingly white trig point. Black Edge stands proud at 1,663 feet (507 m) in the western Peak District. This classic Dark Peak moorland drops relatively steeply to the east, providing excellent views. To the west is the heathery sprawl of Combs Moss.

Bit out in the middle of know where, but with great views over towards Dove Holes and the quarries

Amazing views from the trig point. The moors can be muddy, so wear proper footwear.
