Hiking

A freestanding medieval wayside and boundary cross which stands on the parish boundary between Hayfield and Edale next to the ancient moorland track between the two villages. It also marked the edge of the former royal forest of Peak Forest. The cross stands 1.6 m. high, with a width at the arms of 0.49 m. and at the base of 0.29 m. It was designated and protected as a Scheduled Monument in 1934

Hiking

Look and listen for moorland birds like the red grouse, curlew, golden plover and ring ouzel (or mountain blackbird). They feed on new heather shoots high up on the moors.
