    Tips

    Hiking

    Narrow footpath high up along High Tor cliff face, no fence just a metal handrail fixed into the rock. Totally spectacular and first time you visit a bit daunting! Be careful!

    Hiking

    I have a healthy fear of heights to be clear.
    This very short exposed section of the path has beautiful views. I would start at the top of High Tor and descend via Giddy Edge as this seems to be what everyone was doing.
    I would not feel comfortable passing people going in the opposite way to me for this short section.
    The path is over a meter wide at all points and at the exposed sections, a very strong handrail is present.
