Fire Risk in the Peaks: There have been numerous fires in the Peaks. These fires not only kill the ground level vegetation but also can go deep underground and destroy the underlying peat. There are signs all around the Peak District indicating that naked flames be they fires, barbecues, stoves or indeed any naked flames are banned in the Peak District. There is a hefty fine if these rules are broken. Take care when out walking and protect the Peaks. [July 2026]

Outer Edge

Outer Edge
Grid Ref : SK177970
Height : 541
OS Map : 110
Outer-Edge summit is on top of an edge that stands out south of Howden Moor. This edge and the lower edge at Crow Stones, give this area a different feel than the moorland around. However the area is largely pathless and care needs to be taken in wet conditions.
