Carhead Rocks

Carhead Rocks are one of the lesser known edges in the Peak District National Park. This small gritstone edge is situated just below the mighty Stanage Edge, with great views overlooking the Hope Valley. I visited on a beautiful autumn afternoon a couple of hours before sunset.

Warm light on Stanage Edge and the interesting formations on Carhead Rocks.

Golden hour at Carhead Rocks, looking out across the Hope Valley.
