Edale /ˈiːdeɪl/ is a village and civil parish in the Peak District, Derbyshire, England, whose population was 353 at the 2011 Census.

Workers were brought in from the towns and accommodated in cottages and in a nearby house called Skinner's Hall.

The bed and banks of the River Noe from Barber Booth upstream to approximately the 320-metre (1,050 ft) contour constitute the Edale SSSI,[6] cited for geological interest.

In 2006, a new information and visitor centre was opened at Fieldhead; it was developed by the Moors for the Future partnership and is owned and operated by the Peak District National Park Authority.

[11] Edale railway station lies on the trans-Pennine Hope Valley line and receives a reasonably frequent service for such a rural area.

The typical off-peak is one train an hour in both directions, with some gaps at certain times of the day, to Sheffield and to Manchester Piccadilly via Marple.
