In the Dark Peak region of the Peak District National Park, Grindslow Knoll is a superb rocky perch on the end of Kinder Scout’s central south arm. From many vantage points, it appears independent from its famous parent, such is its character and the way it drops away to Crowden Clough on one side and Grindsbrook Clough on the other.

Hiking

At 1,972 feet (601 m), Grindslow Knoll is a lofty perch, high on the termination of one of Kinder Scout's central southern limbs. This elevated and isolated position makes it a sumptuous viewpoint for Edale, across to the Great Ridge and beyond. It can be ascended straight from Edale, or worked into a longer outing on Kinder's escarpments.
