Historically, Edale was the name of the valley of the River Noe. Settlement in the valley consists of several booths, originally established in the 13th century as 'vaccaries' (cattle farms) along the valley of the River Noe, which have since developed into the hamlets of Upper Booth (once Crowdenley Booth and Over Booth), Barber Booth (once Whitmorely Booth), Grindsbrook Booth, Ollerbrook Booth and Nether Booth (also known as Lady Booth and, formerly, Lower Booth). The River Noe is a river, and a tributary of the River Derwent in Derbyshire, England. ...

When the Sheffield to Manchester (Hope Valley) line opened, the railway station to the south of Grindsbrook Booth was named "Edale", and the name came to be used for the settlements in the parish, rather than the valley as a whole. The valley is usually now referred to as the "Vale of Edale", or, much less frequently, as the "Noe Valley".

Edale is the site of an historic cotton mill built in 1795 on the site of a corn mill and tannery by Nicholas Cresswell in partnership with James Harrison, Robert Blackwell and Joseph Fletcher. Workers were brought in from the towns and accommodated in cottages and in a nearby house called Skinners Hall. Many of the women workers walked each day from Castleton over the thousand-foot Hollins Cross pass. The mill continued spinning cotton until around 1940 but then fell into disuse. It was restored in the early 1970's by the Landmark Trust who sold off six of the apartments to fund the restoration. The Landmark Trust retain one apartment which can be rented for a week or weekend. There is a youth hostel about a mile from the village centre, several B&Bs, and both pubs provide accommodation. The pubs also provide food, and there are two cafés. 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. For other uses, see Cotton (disambiguation). ...

As well as being the start of the Pennine Way, the village is surrounded by walking country which is excellent in its own right. The village is surrounded by hills: the plateau of Kinder Scout to the north, the Great Ridge (running west to east between Rushup Edge over Mam Tor to Lose Hill) to the south and east, Win Hill to the east, and Dalehead (Brown Knoll, Horsehill Tor and Colborne) to the west. An easy half-day walk leads over "Jacob's Ladder" to Hayfield. Kinder Scout is a moorland plateau (and mountain) in the Dark Peak of the Derbyshire Peak District in the United Kingdom. ...
