Froggatt
The village of Froggatt is situated beneath the gritstone escarpment of Froggatt Edge, on the well wooded banks of the River Derwent, between the villages of Grindleford and Calver. The village has a quaint 17th century bridge, unusual in that it has 2 different shaped and sized arches. There is a Wesleyan Reform Chapel in the village but All Saints Parish church at Curbar is used for established services. The Froggatt show is held on August Bank Holiday and is an off shoot of the former village 'cow club'. There are no pubs or shops but the quaintness still attracts many tourists on hot summer weekends.
Froggatt edge is a popular walking and climbing destination. Froggatt Edge is a gritstone escarpment in the Dark Peak area of the Peak District national park, in Derbyshire, England and situated in close proximity to the villages of Calver, Curbar and Baslow. The edge, like many in this area, is also easily accessible from Sheffield. Froggatt Edge is popular for Peak District Climbing and Peak District Walking throughout the year.
