Pay-and-display parking is available at Curbar Gap, located at the top of the minor road above Curbar village. The car park is situated on the north side of the road, just east of the gap.

Begin by carefully crossing the road from the car park and passing through the gate to follow the clear, well-defined track. The route proceeds along a distinct track set approximately 50 metres east of the cliff edge across open moorland. En route, the path passes the impressive Eagle Stone to the east, a prominent gritstone landmark worth exploring, though now weathered smooth and challenging to climb. At the track junction, turn left towards Wellington’s Monument. While tree growth over time has partially enclosed the monument, it still offers commanding panoramic views taking in Birchen and Gardom’s Edges, the eastern moors, and the rolling limestone landscapes of the Peak District to the west. (1.0kms. 20m. 0hrs. 20min.)

Return toward Curbar Gap along the crest of Baslow Edge. Retrace your steps toward the edge, opting for the narrower footpath along the escarpment rim rather than the main moorland track. Though less defined than the outward path, this route offers an authentic edge-walking experience with sweeping northward vistas of the Peak District’s primary gritstone edges. As you approach the end of Baslow Edge, enjoy one of the finest vantage points overlooking Curbar Edge before rejoinining the main track at the stile. (1.5kms. 20m. 0hrs. 30min.)

Carefully cross the road from the car park and follow the clearly marked path around the western side, continuing through the gate onto the moor. Follow the main track, which runs parallel to the edge about 20 metres to the east, until reaching the distinct dip separating Curbar Edge and Froggatt Edge. This section features continuous views of Curbar Edge, opening up to encompass Froggatt Edge as well as the distant horizons of Burbage and Stanage Edges. (2.5kms. 50m. 0hrs. 50min.)

For the return journey, branch onto the narrow rim path directly along the cliff edge. This section showcases dramatic rock formations and offers opportunities to spot local rock climbers. The edge path presents exceptional views along the escarpment and across the valley toward Chatsworth House. Near the end of the ridge, descend along the path toward the road and head east to return to the car park. (2.5kms. 50m. 0hrs. 50min.)
