Chasing sunsets on Stanage Edge 🤩🧡

This dramatic gritstone edge can be found above the Peak District village of Hathersage ⛰

It’s a popular spot for hikers and climbers, with breathtaking views of the Hope Valley, and the ridge stretches for almost 4 miles!

Fans of the classic Pride & Prejudice film will also recognise Stanage Edge as the spot where Keira Knightley - playing Elizabeth Bennett - stood upon a rock ledge and dreamed of Mr Darcy ✨
