A great short walk from the village is to head to the summit of Ringing Roger, the somewhat towering ridge set behind the village offers sweet views of Edale and beyond. If you like a leaflet wander into the visitor information centre for a chat with the friendly staff, or if you’ve run out of tea-bags there is a small general store. For a brew and cake head to the Penny Pot Cafe by the train station or Coopers Cafe close to the village square. The village itself is made up of a cluster of stone cottages and buildings, including a couple of traditional country pubs, namely the award winning Old Nags Head and The Rambler Inn. A big draw-card for Edale is the train station, providing a car-free option with direct access to the great outdoors, via the super scenic Hope Valley Line which connects Manchester and Sheffield.

As well as walkers the village is a popular cafe stop for mountain bikers and road cyclists.

The village is a well known walking destination, and is the official start (or end) point for the long distance pennine way walking trail. Surrounded by sweeping green countryside and majestic hills is the small village of Edale in the Derbyshire Peak District.
