Edale is a
very small Peak District village in the famous Vale of Edale,
situated below The Peak on Kinder Scout, 2088 feet high. The
village buildings are all gritstone, and the village school
and 1885 church are worth a look.
Very popular with
walkers as it is the start of the Pennine Way, 256 miles to
Scotland. There is an information centre in the village with
a small exhibition.
For the not so inclined,
Edale is still a good base for half day walks to the top of
the High Peak plateau and the famous Jacobs Ladder. Best take
the west route up as saves the tramp through the bogs. Gives
a real taste of the open Peak District.
