Curbar Edge

Curbar Edge is a gritstone escarpment above Curbar village, with climbers on the crags below and a wide path along the top. Walk north from Curbar Gap and you roll straight on to Froggatt Edge, with the Derwent valley spread out to the east. It is one of the easiest ways to get a proper Dark Peak edge view without a hard climb.

Good to know

• Start from the car park at Curbar Gap and walk the edge path north
• Carry on to Froggatt Edge for a longer out-and-back
• Late afternoon light is best looking east
