Rocky ridges around abandoned quarries popular for hiking & climbing, with expansive clifftop views.
Went there for a bouldering course. The area is lovely. Beautiful sceneries and there were cows wandering around (really cute). Great place for bouldering as well on the crags Would definitely come back
Nice views, what else you can wish for. Took a circular walk from Curbar Gap car park (PS5 for all day paid by card).
Nothing has changed, the climbs are still as hard as ever. Fabulous as a venue. Best to get there early and park on the road, or at the Chequers pub and have a steep walk up but a drink to end
Definitely worth a day I kept close to the edge all the way along. Looking north, you see Bamford Edge, Win Hill, and the Kinder Plateau. The views are wonderful. Big skies because you are at the top, and big landscapes level and below. The rocks are obvious focal points for photography, sports like climbing etc, and birds. I saw a few Ravens whilst I was up there. In late July, the purple Heather was just beginning to appear. Once you get to Curbar Edge to the south, look further south, and you'll see baslow and in the far distance, Chatsworth House Once you're up there, it is relatively flat, but getting up there is a decent hike in itself. There was one herd of cows, but I walked slowly through them and they didn't move. For those considering wandering south along the Derwent Valley Heritage Way. I did encounter one herd of cows south of Calton Lees, that were calves, cows and a bull. They were not friendly, and I had to find an alternate route. You can get from Chatsworth to Rowsley along the B6012 along the roads, but some of them are verging on dangerous
Great spot, not too far from the car park and busy road. Icy at the top at present, watch your step. Nice to see some Deer roaming free up the top too
Lovely walk with spectacular views. We parked at Haywood car park and walked from there. Took about 30 minutes each way with our two boys, 3 and 5. There's also an old stone circle on the way, just off the path. The path is a steady incline, an easy walk with a nice wide path. Highly recommend if you don't have heaps of time. You can continue on but we just walked to Froggart, sat for a bit and had a snack while enjoying the view, and turned around to go back the same way.
