Froggatt Edge — Attraction in Derbyshire Dales

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...

Absolutely Stunning! Froggatt Edge is a hidden gem in the Peak District. The views are absolutely breathtaking—panoramic scenery across the valley, dramatic gritstone edges, and beautiful walking paths surrounded by nature. Whether you're out for a peaceful hike, a photo walk, or a rock climbing adventure, this place delivers.

It's never too crowded, so it feels like a real escape into nature. The walk along the edge is easy to moderate, with lots of great spots to stop and take in the view (or have a picnic!). Sunset up here is next-level magical.

Highly recommended for walkers, climbers, and anyone who loves being outdoors. Will definitely be...

The views are, as ever, wonderful. Last night took a late walk along the edge but to some extent the experience was ruined by the large number of dog walkers who firstly, did not have their dog on a leash, and secondly not under control. Signs indicating the need for both of these are clearly shown but I estimate that two thirds of dog walkers are not observing this. Its vital for ground nesting birds and reptiles that people heed the advice but as this is not happening I feel that it is now right to ban dogs from this area in...
