    Hiking

    An impressive gritstone outcrop, Black Rocks and its surroundings are superb hiking territory. A steep ascent from the car park and the trails below bring you to the top. From there you can explore the Forestry Commission woodlands of Cromford Moor or stride out along the High Peak Trail for glorious views towards Matlock Gorge and the Derwent Valley.
