Snow White Edge

White Edge viewed from Eyam Moor. The Edge is comprised of Crawshaw Sandstone, mostly a coarse sandstone or gritstone very much like the underlying 'Millstone Grit' gritstone horizons, but this is stratigraphically in the basal Coal Measures.

The old quarries just left of centre worked the Rough Rock, the stratigraphically highest sandstone in the 'Millstone Grit' (Namurian).

The building towards the upper left is White Edge Lodge, formerly a gamekeeper's house on the Longshaw Estate. Now owned by the National Trust and let as a holiday cottage. A stunning location.
