The Eastern Edges run from Chatsworth in the south to Derwent in the north in a near continuos line if gritstone outcrops. This is a unique environment; nowhere else in the UK has such an extended line of natural craggy edges; this is the unique selling point for the Peak District It is a significant challenge to walk the length of these edges. Due to the predominant weather in the area the route is described south to north. This als means that as you progress along the route, the scenery gets wilder; moving from elegance of Chatsworth House to the wilds of Bleaklow. This is a linear walk, so it is essentail to arrange transport to the start and from the finish.
