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]

| White Edge lies above and to the east of Froggatt Edge. It is clearly seen from the significant path along the top of Froggatt Edge. When walking along White Edge there are extensive views to the east towards Sheffield. This view is over a large expanse of moorland home to a herd of Red Deer. Visits in the autumn are accompanied by the sound of the deer rut; something to experience. | |
