A walk of contrasts for those following these edges. Froggatt, Curbar and Baslow are typical Gritstone Edges, with cliffs some 20m high over a length of 2-3 kms. These edges rise from the woodland below giving impressive views. In contrast White Edge is a bleak moorland with less impressive edges but non the less some great views over the peak. Perhaps in this one walk we see the two sides of the Gritstone scenery. This is one of the best walks in the Peak District. There are great views of a large part of the peak District, and especially the White Peak over to the west. White edge is different, it is more rugged and and as such less busy.
