Edale Valley is an ideal centre for outdoor activities. The walking from
the valley is superb, with everything from short easy walks to the Pennine Way.
There is some rock climbing on the flanks of Kinder Scout, and the famous
gritstone edges of Stanage, Froggatt, Millstone (and many others) are only a
few miles away.
