The summit of Burbage Edge features impressive gritstone outcrops and a couple of small cairns, perfect for a selfie or two. Don't forget to take in the views!
Burbage Edge is predominantly composed of gritstone, a type of sandstone that is resistant to erosion, providing those iconic rugged cliffs. The area is rich in geological history, dating back to the Carboniferous period.
From the summit, you'll be able to see the expansive vistas of the Peak District, including iconic landmarks such as Chatsworth House, Stanage Edge, and the distant Kinder Scout.
The name 'Burbage' is thought to originate from Old English, meaning 'a place where the brook bends'.
Burbage Edge has long been a popular spot for climbers and walkers alike, known for its picturesque rock formations and historical significance in the climbing community.
