From the Manchester direction: Take the A6 to Chapel-en-le-Rith. Take the unclassified road through Slackhall, which climbs along the side of the valley. Near the end of this, there is a left hand turning signposted to Edale. This climbs slightly before dropping spectacularly into the Hope Valley. At the bottom of the hill, the road crosses a bridge over a small stream. You then pass through Edale village, with the station on the left, and you will see the bridge on the left just after leaving the village.
It is probably best to park tucked on the verge on the main road and walk up to the bridge.
From Edale station, turn left on the main road and keep going until you see the bridge on the left.
There are no amenities in the vicinity.
The light is best here in the morning until 12-12.30 for trains heading east. After this the light will be off the front of the trains, though pictures will be possible for longer. Facing the other way, the line passes a barn which limits the photographic angles slightly.
