Stanage Main Car Park

Highlight • Parking

The main parking site for Stanage. There are more options up towards the pass and further down the road if it is too crowded here (but often the fluctuation is quite high with many only going for a short walk and climbers having different preferences for times of the day).

Robin Hood's Cave

Highlight • Cave

Robin Hood’s Cave is a fantastic little cave tucked into the landscape. Small and well-sheltered, legend has it that infamous outlaw Robin Hood took refuge here when he was on-the-run. To find the cave, you need to follow a rocky trail down the cliff face. Whilst this section is manageable, do take care. Once inside the cave, you will find it to be a lovely spot for a picnic or a flask of tea—especially in wintry weather.

Stanage Pole

Highlight • Monument

Stanage Pole is a landmark that denotes the border between Derbyshire and South Yorkshire. A wooden pole has stood here for hundreds of years and would have been useful for travellers on the old packhorse route, Long Causeway.

Whether on gravel or MTB, the riding around here is superb. Whichever way you head, you’re in for a treat and some epic views of the Peak District.

View of Redmires Reservoirs

Highlight • Lake

Here you are afforded a great view of the trio of Redmires Reservoirs; upper, middle and lower. They're set in a beautiful landscape surrounded by rolling hills and moorland. They're primarily used for water supply and are managed by Yorkshire Water.

Stanage Edge

Highlight • Natural Monument

Stanage Edge is an awesome gritstone escarpment standing high above Hathersage in the Peak District National Park.

It's a very popular climbing destination with hundreds of routes up the steep, slabby and sometimes overhanging cliffs. If you walk along the top, you're likely to meet climbers and if you walk along the rougher path below the cliff you can watch them.

The trail along the top of the edge is well made and offers a few miles of excellent walking with great views. There is a trig point at White Path Moss at the eastern end and another slightly higher at High Neb to the west.
