This set of edges runs north to south on the eastern aspect of the Peak district. Throughout there are great views over to the west, predoninantly to the white peak area around Stoney Middleton. This walk is in three obvious sections, Froggatt, Curbat, and Baslow and you can do the whole walk, or two sections of just one if short of time. It is nice on a summer evening just to walk along one of these edges, and taking in the sunset. Here, the start is at the Curpar Gap Car Park but equally valid walk from the north at Froggatt Edge. or indeed the south of Baslow Edge.
