In the short story The Edge, Daymer's End is a small village about forty miles away fom the town of Skippington. Medenham Grange, the home of Sir Gerald Lee, is located a mile from the village. While the exact location of Daymer's End is not specified, it is obviously by the sea. A prominent geographical feature is a path which leads along the downs. It is considered dangerous to leave the path. To one side of the path the hills slope gently towards the sea. These gentle slopes are deceptive. Moving down slope, one could end up going too fast to stop and suddenly go over some steep cliffs and be killed by hitting the rocks in the sea below. This area is known locally as "The Edge" and features prominently in the plot.
