Stanage Edge, or simply Stanage (from "stone edge") is a gritstone escarpment in the Peak District, England, famous as a location for climbing. It lies a couple of miles to the north of Hathersage, and the northern part of the edge forms the border between the High Peak of Derbyshire and Sheffield in South Yorkshire. Its highest point is High Neb at 458 metres (1,503 ft) above sea level. Areas of Stanage were quarried in the past to produce grindstones, and some can still be seen on the hillside—carved, but never removed.

Fantastic place for a walk along the edges. Views on this bright and sunny day were stunning. Fairly easy walking. Convenient parking nearby

What a stunning place to visit and ride my Mountain bike. Not the easiest to get up to, but once we had the views were incredible, the riding was challenging and we had a lot of fun.
