Rocky Trail in Peak District National Park

Highlight • Trail

We did this when dry, and the sand allowed for peaktop dancing. 99% rideable for a gravel bike and worth all the climbing. Great section

Froggatt Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

If you've joined the trail from the steep ascent up Curbar Edge, it's now a much gentler climb to reach Froggatt Edge. An opportunity to restore some strength and enjoy the views.

This dramatic gritstone edge offers wonderful views over the Peaks, towards Chatsworth Estate and to the Hope Valley. A classic moorland trail traverses the edge; expect ruts, rocks, heather, grit and great scenery.
