White Edge Moor
White Edge Moor also known as Big Moor is one of the most isolated parts of The Peak District and yet is less than 10 miles from the centre of Sheffield. It lies on the edge of the Longshaw Estate at just over 1000 feet above sea level.
Open access to much of the land only became available this century as for many years this was a reservoir catchment area. Barbrook reservoir is now disused and, possibly because of this restricted access, has become home to over 200 wild red deer and birds such as the curlew, buzzard, merlin and snipe.
The inhospitable nature of this land meant than man ignored it for centuries and as a result relics of the last 4000 years are everywhere. There are Bronze Age stone circles, burial mounds and medieval pack horse trails as well as more recent evidence of lead processing and millstone quarrying.
