| 363 Longstone Edge | ||
Once covered in lead mines, with workings that go back to the 11th century, Longstone Edge is now spread with flowers. Grassy depressions and hummocks are the only reminders of the past while milkwort, thyme and bird's-foot trefoil create a wealth of colour. Here is one of the finest display of rock-roses in the Peak District, while from the summit the view stretches from Matlock to the Dark Peak moors.
