Exploring Froggatt Edge, Peak District National Park, Derbyshire, UK

What a beautiful place, the purple heathers, the magnificent views, the ancient woodland and the babble of the river Derwent, streams and springs. 

You should definitely pay a visit and afterwards go and grab a bag of chips at the Toll Bar Chip Shop in Stoney Middleton, if the chips are good enough for Tom Cruise and Liam Gallagher then they’re good enough for you!

The Route
