Revidge

About Revidge

Rising above the village of Warslow, this gritstone ridge marks a sharp geological shift on the edge of the White Peak. The summit offers a rugged, heather-clad escape with expansive views across the Manifold Valley towards the sharp limestone fins of Chrome and Parkhouse Hills and the distant Cheshire Plain.

Did You Know?

• •The name Revidge likely stems from the Old English 'hrēod' (reed) and 'ecg' (edge), describing a reed-covered ridge, a character still reflected in its damp, moorland vegetation.
• •Although located in the Staffordshire Moorlands, Revidge is a gritstone outcrop, providing a dark, acidic contrast to the pale carboniferous limestone that dominates the nearby Manifold Valley.
• •From the summit, the distinctive 'Dragon’s Back' profile of Chrome Hill and Parkhouse Hill is clearly visible to the north, while the gritstone escarpment of The Roaches dominates the western horizon.
• •Despite being a Tump of modest height, the terrain underfoot can be surprisingly stubborn; the thick heather and hidden gritstone blocks ensure your ankles work significantly harder than the 401-metre elevation suggests.
