Stanage Main Car Park

Highlight • Parking

The main parking site for Stanage. There are more options up towards the pass and further down the road if it is too crowded here (but often the fluctuation is quite high with many only going for a short walk and climbers having different preferences for times of the day).

Stanage Edge Viewpoint

Highlight • Natural Monument

Easy way up from the parking - one of the easy places to get a stunning few with low effort. Great starting point to stroll further along the edge towards north-west (or the opposite direction to hit the road soon again). Always nice to watch the climbing and bouldering on the gritstone.

White Path Moss Trig Point

Highlight • Natural Monument

White Path Moss has great views over the valleys and boulders in the ferns. It can get quite windy indeed at the ledge, but climbing down a few metres or getting further off the plateau often helps quite a bit.
