Following the edge is a lot less busy than other routes around this area, late September sees the deer enter rutting season.

19th century pleasure ground which exploited the dramatic qualities of the Derwent valley. Peter Arkwright of Willersley Castle enclosed the grounds c 1860 and constructed pedestrian paths from a new entrance on the south side approached from the bridge to Matlock Bath railway station. The entrance from Starkholmes Road was retained and could be used by carriages. A pathway was formed through Fern Cave (scheduled ancient monument) and another on a narrow ledge along part of the cliff face. In 1879 the grounds were leased to the Matlock and High Tor Recreation Grounds Company Ltd and Milner of London was retained to supervise landscaping. Arkwright's Grand Walk, also used by carriages, was created, leading south to the summit from a gateway in Pig Tree Lane, now Pic Tor Lane. A refreshment room was erected near the summit, tennis and quoit or skittle grounds were constructed close to a modified southern entrance and additional paths put in with a broad flight of steps.

Alas, the previously awesome views from the trig point are long gone due to tree growth. Today the trig point is a waypoint only; for views head over to Black Rocks.

Bolehill (Cromford Moor) is 323 metres high and is one of the 95 Ethels (Peak District Hills).

a big hill that strikes out in the landscape when viewed from monsal head or dale- the site of an iron age hillfort that was excavated in the late 2000s/early 2010s. a mass burial containing women and children was discovered at the site in 2011, dating back to 440-390 BCE.

The footpath along the summit is commonly known as Giddy Edge, unfenced and not recommended for small children . There is a small metal handrail afixed to the inside edge (of the cliff) totally spectacular.
