Axe Edge Moor is the major moorland southwest of Buxton in the Peak District, England. It is mainly gritstone. Its highest point is at grid reference SK035706. This is slightly lower than Shining Tor. The moor is the source of the River Dove, River Manifold, River Dane, River Wye and River Goyt.

Axe Edge Moor is a beautiful part of the Peak District and sets the location for this walk – including Axe Edge Moor trig point and Cheeks Hill which is the county top of Staffordshire at 520 metres.

A fantastic walk that ticks off a trig and two Ethels, it’s perfect if you’re taking on one of the awesomePeak District Challengesthis year. We will also give you the option to add on Burbage Edge trig point which is a 3 km out and back, also on theEthels listtoo!

If not, then you head towards Axe Edge Moor and onwards to Axe Edge trig point, with beautiful views of Shining Tor in the northwest and Chrome Hill in the southeast.

You’ll walk along Axe Edge to Axe Edge End, the loop back via Cheeks Hill before returning back to Derbyshire Bridge car park.
