The moorland stretches across an area of approximately 10 square kilometers, providing ample space for outdoor enthusiasts to explore and enjoy the serene surroundings.

With its elevated position, reaching heights of up to 400 meters above sea level, White Edge Moor offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. On a clear day, one can see as far as the distant cities of Sheffield and Manchester, adding to the allure of this picturesque location.
