About Edale

The dramatic landscape surrounding Edale forms the very heart of the Peak District National Park. It lies 7.8 km north-east of Chapel-en-le-Frith (from Chapel-en-le-Frith: bearing 55°T, OS grid SK 123 852), and is situated north-west of Castleton village. This remote valley, often considered the gateway to the Kinder Scout plateau, is a haven for walkers and climbers drawn to its rugged beauty. Historically, Edale's economy was shaped by sheep farming, a tradition that continues to this day, with the distinctive dry stone walls crisscrossing the hillsides. The village itself offers a charming collection of stone cottages, a parish church, and several welcoming public houses that serve as popular resting points for outdoor enthusiasts. Edale's remote setting and dramatic scenery contribute to its enduring appeal as a quintessential English rural destination.
