Curbar

Curbar village is best known for its Gap, a rare natural cleft in the spectacular gritstone ‘edges’ through which wheeled traffic can reach or leave the open moors. Below Curbar Gap a series of roadside boulders are carved with biblical texts, while a southerly footpath at the bottom of the hill skirts the five initialled graves of an entire family wiped out by the plague over 300 years ago.
