Currently Shining Tor appears in the main listing and Axe Edge Moor in the minor tops. They're very similar really, and on my edition of the Peak District Tourist Map both are picked out on the 'Area covered by the Map' on the back cover, together with The Roaches (already listed) and Black Edge, (of the tops near Buxton).

Well, I'd like to speak up for my original intent - it's the characteristic of an area like the Peak that it doesn't have peaks (!) in the Marilyn sense (Because eg the limestone area is mainly an eroded plateau). But it does have a lot of defined tops which are well-known amongst walkers. So on a 'relative height' basis you find few named tops listed (because you rarely get the 'required' height drop in all directions). But almost all able-bodied walkers in the East Midlands will have staggered up Thorpe Cloud for instance and many will make a detour to Wetton Hill and Wolfscote Hill (which are all NT-properties I note). Axe Edge is in a slightly different class, because of physical bulk, and the fact it's source of 5 rivers!, though it's actually not a particularly distinguished top, I recollect. Let's move Axe Edge, and keep the 'minor tops' bucket for a bit :-) Linuxlad
Tosh! cataloguing in Wiki is not research. (People invent spurious new catagories daily!) And there is no accepted definition of peaks in Derbyshire (certainly not the Marilyns one ), - I don't object to what you've done so far (which, as you say yourself, already departs from any published list). However, there are lots of named high points in such hill areas and they are often mentionned in articles - how should _they_ be brought into greater common visibility - calling them 'peaks' is not really appropriate. Calling them 'tops' is...Bob aka Linuxlad
Well I started work on List of peaks of the Peak District, so I've saved it now. Whether this is a Good Thing or not, well discuss! Grinner 12:51, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
