Just east of Stanage Edge and north-east of the car park at Upper Burbage Bridge, White Path Moss is a quiet hump of heather moor. A trig point stands on top, but the highest ground is a gritstone boulder about 20 m away. There's no formal path, and the heather gives way to wet blanket bog with standing pools, part of the Stanage and North Lees estate owned by the National Park Authority.
