    Derwent Edge is a Millstone Grit escarpment that overlooks the Derwent and Ladybower reservoirs. The edge affords breathtaking views over the reservoirs and surrounding moorland. There are also lots of unusual rock formations to admire, including the Wheelstones and Back Tor.

      From Derwent Edge you have very nice views of the Derwent valley. These are definitely worth it.
