Derwent Edge has many distinctive gritstone tors that have been shaped by centuries of weathering. This particular formation, though, known as 'Wheel Stones' or 'Coach and Horses', is perhaps the most notable. When viewed from the A57 road, the tor resembles a coach and horses riding on the horizon, hence the name. From the rocks, you get utterly spellbinding views.
