Overview

An easy walk along the gritstone edges from Haywood NT car park, with just a short steep uphill at the beginning. The dramatic views from Curbar Edge are some of the best in the Peak District, with very little effort. There is usually a catering van at Curbar Edge, where we will be having lunch.
