The steep stone staircase of Jacob’s Ladder brings you to the summit of Kinder Low. This iconic section of the Pennine Way is a delight to hike and rewards you with magnificent views.

Hiking

Pretty easy to walk. Might be a bit more tricky in wet conditions, but if it's dry, a relaxed tour going down.

Hiking

Pay attention. The path is especially dangerous when descending. Because of the many loose stones you can easily make a slide here.
