- GoingGuideNottingham, United Kingdom1,213 contributionsBreathtaking views!A must-do! Based in the Dark Peak area of the Peak District, Stannage Edge is a fabulous natural land formation that offers spectacular views of the surrounding hills and valleys. Various paths lead up to the top, some steeper than others, but all well worth the challenge. Good walking boots are essential; so too are weatherproof clothing as the weatger can change in minutes. Various parking facilities are available within reach of the Edge. Worth a visit.Visited April 2023Travelled with familyWritten 12 April 2023
- rayraysworldWarwick, United Kingdom1,990 contributionsawesomehow have i never reviewed this before? been many times and it's beautiful. well worth driving around the peaks while you are there too. and the sound of the quietness if you know what i'm saying. one of the best places to get away from it allVisited September 2022Written 8 July 2023
- BakewellTartReviewerBakewell, United Kingdom2 contributionsFascinating Surroundings for Natural Experiments.So there is was, pipette in hand… finally I would finish the experiment I had been working on for years! my friend held down a wild grouse whilst I drew a great breath and drop the serum into its mouth. Om nom nom, it gobbled it down and immediately it began to swell in size! Larger, larger until it was atleast 1.3… no… maybe 1.4 times the size. It was complete. My giant grouse minion was ready to lay waste to all the Peak District! But as I looked upon my works the realisation suddenly dawned on me. My work was not that of genius, I had created a monster. It began pecking the local climbers all along Stanage Edges famous 5000m Griddle Traverse (The longest solo climbing route in the UK). They fell one by one onto the soft squishy blanket of sharp dangerous rocks below. What had I done… this was it… my life was over. But the giant grouses was just starting. Thankfully with some heavy counselling we managed to turn his life around, get him a job earning minimum wage at BnQ in Sheffield. I still check up on him sometimes to make sure he is stacking the paint idle correctly. Stupid bird can’t tell the difference between eggshell white and beige. Really great views, great for picnics. Stunning walking. 10 starsVisited September 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 8 September 2023

Few Jane Eyre things on the way such as the house where the wife was hidden in the attic and then burned alive….also popped into the church to see Little John pushing up the daisys 🤔. Stanage edge is impressive but then most of the edges are in the Peaks. Defo would recommend the walk. Just about long enough at 3 hrs and the pint at the end (Bank) was well deservedVisited September 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 21 September 2023

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Love it here. Walked from our cottage. The sun was shining. We walked from one end to the other.
The mountain rescue team were doing some training, which was interesting.
It's just so beautiful up there, with stunning views.

A high stony path, popular with walkers giving views over open countryside. Some of the habitats are poor, being over grazed. The area is marred, as is most UK moorland, by bad management for the interests of the shooting industry.

A beautiful hike. We did this walk a few times and can't fault the views! We always go early and there's plenty of parking in the area and lots of different routes to go on.

Looking at going to a Stanage Edge in December. What are people’s recommendations for parking up and what route would you suggest to the top?
Douglas C

There is ample parking, best is Hooks Carr car park, free and the trail to get to the top of the edge starts from there. There is another car park along from there as well. Routes up are clearly marked.

I did not see any signs to say no. But I could not say for sure. However it is wide open space so I don't see why not.

Hi, planning to take the kids (1.5yrs and 6yrs old) here, is it suitable to hike with the kids.
Thank you.
Can we do barbecue at the car park’s picnic area?

We always walk from Ringinglow Road in the direction of Stanage Pole. Been on there today. Never seen a barbecue. Would say no in view of dryness & protection of the area.

We are walk Stanage this coming Thursday, what type of footwear and clothing would you pack? I was thinking of doing it in shorts and trainers

I would recommend boots as even the path is rocky and uneven in places and having boots will give your ankles more protection when walking close to the edge. Regarding clothing, check the forecast and bring 2 to 3 upper layers as if it rains and it's windy it can feel quite cool. We took a map and also followed the walk on the Walking Englishman website which is a circular walk from Hathersage. Hope you get decent weather and enjoy the walk.

Walk sounds perfect - how long should I allow for it?
How many miles roughly?
Thanks.

Approx 9 miles 4.5 hours. It was really warm at that time.
Which car park to use for quickest access to the Pride and Prejudice viewpoint please? Is it Hollins Bank or Hook's?. Taking a few senior members of family who are not keen to walk so much.

I am sorry but I do not know. If you look at the OS map it will show you but remember the shortest may not be the easiest route due to the gradients.
