Autumn leaves form a colourful blanket on gritstone boulders below Birchen Edge. The edge is about half a mile long and stands above the Robin Hood Inn on the Baslow to Chesterfield road. A perfect playground for climbers the rocks are home to an obelisk named Nelson's monument. The monument was erected in 1810 by a local man from Baslow named John Brightman. Close to the monument three rocks known as the ""Three Ships"" have the names Victory, Defiant and Royal Soverin carved on them to commemorate three of Nelson's most famous ships.
