Local Attractions

Curbar seems a very private place, a cluster of stone-built houses which seem to melt into against the hillside to hide themselves. There are no amenities and the chief point of interest is the edge above the village, which provides a fine view of the Derwent valley as well as some of the hardest gritstone climbing in Derbyshire.
