Beautiful views. Feels like you're in the middle of nowhere even though it's only 15 or so minutes walk from the road. We stumbled upon this place at random having left the Robin Hood Inn nearby. Well maintained wide grass footpath, which was strewn with large rocks. At the top of the hill is Birchen Edge. Quite secluded, even though it was a beautiful Saturday afternoon very few people were about.

Birchen edge is a nice easy short walk with great views. It also has its own pay and display car park . There is however a short steep rocky uphill section of approximately 50 metres which is near the start of the walk . The walk can be a circular which takes you across the edge top and also along the bottom with views looking up to the edge . While visiting Nelson's monument and the three ships ( Victory Defiance and Royal sovereign) you may also encounter some climbers practiceing their hobby . A little further the Trig point can be found. All in all a great easy short walk with nice views and a few things to see along the way !

Birchen Edge car park has around 40 spaces and reasonable fees, free for National Trust and RSPB members who need to display their membership cards in their cars. It is perfect for Birchen Edge (what a surprise) and is next door to the popular Robin Hood pub. You can do lots of walks from here, up Birchen Edge to see Nelson's monument ( a curiously muted stone pillar compared to the fancy stuff in Trafalgar Square). You can see rock climbers, boulderers, silver birch trees, and carry on walking until you cross a road and get to Wellington's monument, which is a bigger, but still simple, cross. But wait, there's more! You can also carry on walking on a seven mile round trip that takes in Chatsworth grounds and house, walking up to the stables and wishing you were a horse as the stables are quite grand. You can then walk on up to the hunting tower and head along tracks back to the car park. The only downside is that if you do the loop, the final bridge that leads you up to the road has been destroyed. There are various assorted tree branches and rocks so you too can recreate a scene out of 'Floor is Lava'. You have been warned!

A nice little walk for a lovely view. Can't beat nature and fresh air. Has 3 giant rocks named after Nelsons main warships from Trafalgar nearby. Epic.

Birchen Edge is the top of the hill/mountain I went to. It is a long walk next to Robin Hood Inn pub car park. It is a free car park if you are a member of the national trust. You need to climb to get to the hill and there is a huge rock.

Lovely little crag excellent views . Only short walk in from the car park
