Step 1: Highland cows have huge horns but are not scary at all. However you should be careful if there are young calves around or you have a dog.

Step 2: Follow the rocky route right along the edge of Baslow Edge. You'll get a good view over the villages of Curbar, Calver and Stoney Middleton.

Step 3: These gritstone outcrops form one of the smaller "Edges" in The Peak District.
