This is a view northwards along the low escarpment of White Edge in the Eastern Edges area of the Peak District National Park. The Derwent valley is visible in the left middle distance. In the far distance on the middle-left skyline is the Kinderscout plateau; Win Hill is in the centre distance and Bamford Edge at about 0.6, 0.6. The brown smoke haze is a result of controlled burning of the heather moorland in the Strines area to the west of Sheffield. Unlike most of the Eastern Edges which are formed of Namurian 'Millstone Grit', White Edge is comprised of Crawshaw Sandstone which is stratigraphically just above the base of the Coal Measures.
