Kinder Scout

Amazing hill in the peak district. I went twice in two weeks. Absolutely stunning views the first time, and the second time tho the view was obscurred by the fog, it began to snow which was good. Highly recomend Boots, and trousers as well as it can get boggy.

Some amazing countryside to explore. Tough routes for the experienced fell runner and hiker. This is a Mecca for anyone that loves our land access as Kinder was the scene of the first land access demonstration.

Lovely scramble up an off beat sheep’s trail. It was quite foggy so views were virtually non existent and winds were rather brisk so wrap up warm! But on the whole a very fun adventure

Loads of trails and great views. Worth getting here early to beat the hoards. On a good day with little wind the tranquility is unparalleled.

Visiting Kinder Scout in Derbyshire was honestly one of the most rewarding and breathtaking hikes I’ve ever done. From the moment we set off from Edale, I could feel the excitement building — the air crisp, the views already opening up around us, and that sense of adventure kicking in. Once we reached the Kinder Plateau, it felt like stepping onto another planet: wild, windswept moorland, with dark peat paths and dramatic gritstone edges. Standing at Kinder Downfall was a highlight. Even though the waterfall wasn’t roaring when we were there, the view across the Peak District was stunning, and the wind whipped the water backwards in these delicate silver sprays — it was pure magic. What I loved most about Kinder Scout was the sheer sense of space and freedom. You feel tiny compared to the vast landscape, yet also deeply connected to it. Knowing the history of the 1932 Mass Trespass added another layer — it felt meaningful to walk where so many fought for the right to roam. By the end of the day, tired and muddy, we made our way back to Edale for a well-earned pint at a local pub. The whole experience left me feeling refreshed, grateful, and a little in awe of the wild beauty right here in England. If you’re looking for a hike that challenges you, rewards you with jaw-dropping scenery, and gives you a deep sense of connection to nature and history, I can’t recommend Kinder Scout enough. I can’t wait to go back.
