In January this year we visited this area but didn't have the time - or energy! - to walk White, Froggatt and Curbar Edges and so yesterday we re-visited to complete our journey. The sun was shining and the sky was blue. A perfect day for walking.
We parked up and set off across White Edge Moor.
The trig point at White Edge
Time for lunch. What a view :)
Lady's Cross, below, is a medieval wayside and boundary cross which marks both an ancient crossroads on Big Moor in the East Moors of the Peak District
Hay Wood
Froggatt Edge
The Stone Circle - not very impressive but is thought to date back to the Bronze Age
Curbar Edge
The view from Curbar Edge over to Baslow Edge
Couldn't quite believe how many birds were sitting on this fence. There had been more but some had flown away
The heather is almost done now but we did manage to see some still in bloom
We got talking to an older gentleman when we were at the Trig Point and he pointed out the deer on the moor. Wish they'd been a little closer
Well, I managed to stay upright again and my shoes were still clean at the end of our walk. A great walk and looking forward to the next one :)
