Kinder Scout
My number one! It’s an absolutely brilliant walk, after all there is a reason it’s one of the most popular routes in the Peak District!
Starting in the historic village of Edale, the route heads towards Grindsbrook Clough where you’ll scramble up to the plateau of Kinder Scout. This is my favourite part of the walk as the scramble is just the right balance of challenging and enjoyable. Once at the top, you’ll head west which takes you along Kinder’s edge with some spectacular rock formations, and the best spots for a selfie! Eventually leading to Kinder Low trig point and from here you’ll head down Jacobs Ladders (you’ll be glad that you’ve gone down here not up when you see other walkers having to face the uphill climb of Jacob’s Ladder) and follow the sign posts back into Edale.

White Peak and Dark Peak; their names sound like two warring kingdoms on Middle-earth. One can be found in the lush, green south of the Peak District, with its valleys, broadleaved woodlands, wild-flower grasslands and limestone caves, while the other dwells in the northern uplands, famous for its windswept moors and gritstone crags.
In reality, these are the two main sections of the Peak District National Park, which, having become the UK’s first national park in 1951, is poised to celebrate its 70th birthday. Very different, they both make for inspirational walking.
