About
Stanage Edge in the Peak District is the largest single climbing crag in Britain — a four-mile gritstone escarpment east of Hathersage with over 1,000 named routes. The popularity of Stanage shaped the British trad-climbing scene; the Plantation, the Popular End, and the iconic Robin Hood's Cave. Also a setting in the 2005 Pride and Prejudice film.

From the Wikipedia article
Stanage Edge, or simply Stanage (from "stone edge") is a gritstone escarpment in the Peak District, England, famous as a location for climbing. It lies a couple of miles to the north of Hathersage, and the northern part of the edge forms the border between the High Peak of Derbyshire and Sheffield in South Yorkshire. Its highest point is High Neb at 458 metres (1,503 ft) above sea level. Areas of Stanage were quarried in the past to produce grindstones, and some can still be seen on the hillside—carved, but never removed.
