Visitors to Stanage Edge can enjoy a whole range of activities including climbing, walking, camping, cycling, picnicking, horse riding, hang-gliding, para-gliding, bird watching, and enjoying the amazing wildlife and literary heritage.

Stanage Edge is set in wild open moorland with dramatic rock scenery, offering exceptional scenic value. It is only 6 miles from Sheffield and is central to one of the busiest National Parks in the world, attracting over half a million visitors per year.

Stanage-North Lees is home to the ring ouzel, a 'flagship' species for the property. It also supports internationally important heather moorland and blanket bog, as well as a mixture of native broad-leaved and coniferous woodlands and flower-rich grasslands.

Visitors can access Stanage Edge and North Lees by alighting at Hathersage and walking up, although it is around 2 miles of relatively steep ascent. Alternatively, they can alight at Fox House or Surprise View and walk across the moor. The Hope Valley Line connecting Sheffield and Manchester also has stations within the Peak District National Park providing access to stunning scenery and recreational opportunities.
