Combining Froggatt and Curbar Edges gives one of the most spectacular ‘edge’ walks in the Peak District. Dramatic drops and stunning views with an easy-to-follow path, make this a classic Peakland outing. The main difficulty is how to turn the day into a reasonable and entertaining ‘round’. The route described below solves this problem by including a walk along White Edge making a superb circuit for any time of the year. By Steve Goodier.
