Burbage North Edge

Highlight • Trail

Burbage North is separated from Stanage by the road at upper Burbage Bridge. It's a long curving gritstone edge popular with climbers and walkers. The path that flows down the Burbage valley from Burbage Bridge down to the A6187 near Longshaw and the Cross Foxes Inn is brilliant to run down. The trail is gravelly with the occasional boulder to jump, and it offers stunning views with Higger Tor to the west and Burbage to the east.

Views of Carl Wark and Higger Tor

Highlight • Natural

The area does get rather busy. There is great visibility which makes it great to let dogs off-lead and plenty of water and mud for them.

A great pub, that should be on everyones map, a spot to plan your walk or ride to or from, with great food and real ales, often busy, but thats for a good reason. Highly recommend. Enjoy.
