Stanage Edge
Stanage Edge is a popular place for walkers and for rock climbing with stunning views of the Dark Peak moorlands and the Hope Valley. This six kilometer (3.7 mile) grit-stone ridge is an iconic part of the district’s landscape and although it now lies in the United Kingdom’s oldest national park, Stanage Edge once formed one of the major highways in medieval England. It’s thought the Edge has been an important thoroughfare since Roman times, and people used its well-worn tracks to transport goods like salt, oil, glue, tar, and treacle for centuries.
