Kinder Low trig is found on the plateau of Kinder Scout. This spot is very popular with hikers as it boasts wonderful views and is visited by many iconic trails, including the Pennine Way. Many people mistakenly believe that this trig pillar marks the summit of Kinder Scout, however, the true summit actually lies northeast.

Often mistaken for but not Kinder Scout. Kinder low is en route from Jacob's Ladder and just as worthy a destination. Great views in all directions.
