Baslow, Derbyshire

            Baslow Edge

One of several Gritstone Edges in Derbyshire and part of the Dark Peak (or High Peak) area which is the higher northern part of the Peak District located in Derbyshire and South Yorkshire.

The Dark Peak is so called because (in contrast to the White Peak), the underlying limestone is covered by a cap of Millstone Grit. This gritstone covering means that in the winter months the soil is almost always saturated with water.

The land is largely uninhabited moorland plateaux where almost any depression is filled with sphagnum bogs and black peat.

Baslow Edge sits above the village of Baslow at the eastern edge of the Peak District National Park and is part of an almost continuous line of Edges (cliffs) running from Stanage Edge at the northern end down to Birchen Edge at the southern end.

These gritstone Edges dominate the Derwent valley and walking along them provides stunning views of the Derwent valley and further afield.

The only way to Baslow Edge from Baslow is via a steep uphill climb, but once up there walkers, mountain bikers and horse riders are rewarded with stunning view across the surrounding countryside and towards the Chatsworth Estate beyond.

All the Derbyshire edges are popular with climbers and Baslow Edge is no exception.

This is a view of Curbar Edge taken from Baslow Edge.
