Derwent Edge Rock Formations and Downhill Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Amanda, this is one of my favourite trails - Derwent edge rocks down to the reservoir via the real steep singletrack that carves down the hillside above the road is called “Edge of Insanity” 😊 To those complaining of non-legal routes these are 100% natural ‘goat paths’ off the beaten-track and are often used by fell-runners; be mindful of those on foot, as this Trail gets really steep and gnarly at the bottom!

Wheel Stones (Coach and Horses)

Highlight • Natural Monument

Derwent Edge has many distinctive gritstone tors that have been shaped by centuries of weathering. This particular formation, though, known as 'Wheel Stones' or 'Coach and Horses', is perhaps the most notable. When viewed from the A57 road, the tor resembles a coach and horses riding on the horizon, hence the name. From the rocks, you get utterly spellbinding views.

Derwent Edge

Highlight • Trail

A Millstone Grit edge or escarpment. Derwent Edge is notable for the selection of Tors along the ridge. Back Tor to the north is the highest point with a trig point. Erosion was a big problem along here so the Peak District National Park installed a flagstone path along the main edge, sticking to this reduces the impact and keeps you out of the puddles.
Derwent is the first edge on the Nine Edges challenge route.
