Embark on the Frogatt, Curbar and White Edge Red Deer Circular Walk, a moderate hiking route that takes you through varied landscapes. You will cover 5.7 miles (9.2 km) with an elevation gain of 491 feet (150 metres), typically completed in about 2 hours and 32 minutes. Expect to traverse woodland tracks, open fields, and dramatic gritstone edges, offering panoramic views across Big Moor and the Derwent Valley, extending towards Chatsworth.
When planning your visit, you will find parking generally available, with accessible viewpoints at Curbar Edge just a short walk from the car park. Be prepared for paths that can be stony and muddy, especially after wet weather, so make sure to wear appropriate footwear. On weekends, you might even find Jolly's Coffee and Cake van at the Curbar Gap car park, offering a convenient spot for refreshments before or after your hike.
This trail is notable for its opportunities to spot red deer, particularly near the trig point on White Edge. As you hike, you can also explore the ancient Froggatt Edge Stone Circle, adding a touch of history to your outdoor adventure. The gritstone edges along the route also provide interesting boulders for clambering, making the experience more engaging.
