Mid-Week Ramble: White Edge
Overview
A walk with panoramic vistas stretching out into the distance virtually the whole way round because we start high and remain high on the good tracks and paths hereabouts. The first half has a moorland feel under the watchful gaze of the Kinder Plateau on our right and views into South Yorkshire on our left. The second half traverses the elevated path overlooking the Derwent valley giving fantastic views over the heart of the Peak District. In concept, it’s a bit like a Grand Canyon walk, only you don’t descend into it and it’s on a slightly smaller scale! You will need walking boots and please bring sandwiches to keep you going on the way round.
Facilities: Public toilets 2 miles from meeting place in car park of the Fox House Inn (postcode S11 7TY for SatNav).
