Bleaklow is a high moorland, just north of Kinder Scout, across the Snake Pass ( A57), in the Derbyshire High Peak. Much of it is nearly 2000ft above sea level and it is the source of the River Derwent. Bleaklow Head, the high point at the Western side of the moor, is a Hewitt and is crossed by the Pennine Way. It is one of three points with an elevation of over 2000 ft (608 m), the others being Bleaklow Stones, some 3 km to the East along an indefinite ridge, and Higher Shelf Stones 1.5 km south of Bleakow Head. Bleaklow Stones is one of the most Easterly points in England over 2000 ft.

Much of the main plateau of Bleaklow is a boggy peat moorland, seamed by 'groughs' (water-eroded channels in the peat), and lacking strong changes in elevation - in poor conditions its traverse is probably the most navigationally challenging in the Peak District.
