Looking across the valley to Burbage Rocks from Higger Tor, a superb viewpoint that offers 360 degree panoramas of the surrounding area. Archaeological finds in the area have indicated that the Burbage Valley has been a site of early human activity. Discarded flints from hunter-gatherers have been found and small clearance cairns formed from stones are evidence of Bronze Age farmers (c 2500 to 700 BC).

Drive from Hathersage to Sheffield on the A625 and a line of cliffs that glow a spectacular reddish-brown appear above you, illuminated in the setting sun. This is Millstone Edge an abandoned millstone quarry which has now become a firm favourite with climbers. Millstone production was one of the main industries in the Peak District in medieval and early post-medieval times and stones were produced from this quarry for over 500 years.

Birchen 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.

The ancient fortress of Carl Wark is situated about two miles east of Hathersage. At 1,246 ft above sea level the escarpment offers excellent views of the Burbage Valley below, Higger Tor to the north and Burbage Rocks to the east.

Located between Leek and Buxton in the Staffordshire section of the Peak District. The gritstone outcrop of rocks offers excellent views, in particular towards Leek over the Staffordshire moorlands.

The final embers of the January sun die away as another cold and long winters night begins. The moor is a perfect place for a walk with delightful views over Darley Dale and is also an important archaeological site.

Also on the moor is a solitary rock known as the Cork Stone which has iron handles set in the rock, try your hand at reaching the top !

Just a few miles from the outskirts of Sheffield, Curbar Edge is one of the Peak District's dramatic eastern frontiers. Approximately a mile long it slots neatly between Baslow and Gardom's Edges to the south of Froggatt Edge. The old coaching road comes up to Curbar Gap which also offers superb views over the surrounding countryside.

A rainbow pictured as it forms across Stanage Edge, Britain's longest inland cliff. The edge stretches for some 3.5 miles in total. Situated on the moors north of Hathersage it is the largest and most impressive of the edges in the Peak District. The escarpment is internationally famous for its climbing routes.

A lone walker stands quietly as the sun sets over the Peak countryside below Baslow Edge. The edge offers marvellous views of the river valley to the west and moorlands to the east. The two most distinctive features of the edge are the Eagle Stone and Wellington's monument. Eagle Stone is a natural outcrop of Gritstone Rock left over when the softer rocks surrounding it were eroded. In the past local men from Baslow proved their right to marry by climbing to the top. Wellington's monument is a 10 ft high cross built of local gritstone. Completed in 1866 it faces Nelson's monument on Birchen Edge across the valley.

Bamford Edge stands proudly above Ladybower Reservoir and the village of Bamford. The escarpment is at its most beautiful when illuminated by a setting sun.
