Embark on the Kinder Scout Circular Walk, a moderate hiking route that takes you across varied terrain in the Peak District. You will cover 8.9 miles (14.4 km) and gain 1683 feet (513 metres) in elevation, typically completing the journey in about 4 hours and 23 minutes. As you hike, you will experience expansive moorland and rugged gritstone plateaus, with impressive rock formations like the Wool Packs adding to the dramatic scenery. On clear days, the views from the Kinder Low Trig Point stretch far across the landscape, offering a rewarding perspective of the Vale of Edale.
When planning your visit, be aware that conditions on the plateau can be challenging, often boggy with paths that are not always clear. Sturdy walking boots and waterproof clothing are essential, as the weather on Kinder Scout can change quickly and you will be very exposed. For navigation, it is wise to carry a map and compass or a reliable GPS device, as the route can be tricky to follow in places.
This circular route is a classic Peak District experience, known for its wild beauty and historical significance. Kinder Scout is the highest point in the Peak District and played a crucial role in the access to mountains movement. The diverse landscape, from ancient clough woodland to the vast open moorland, makes it a notable destination for those seeking a true taste of the national park's rugged charm.

Embark on a moderate 9.9-mile (16.0 km) hike through the Peak District National Park, gaining 1602 feet (488 metres) of elevation over approximately 4 hours and 56 minutes. This loop from Edale offers a diverse experience, from the rocky ascent of Grindsbrook Clough, where you might need your hands in places, to the exposed moorland of the Kinder Scout plateau. You will encounter impressive gritstone formations and reach the Kinder Low trig point, which provides panoramic views over the Edale Valley and beyond on clear days.
To plan your visit, remember that this trail is considered moderate to challenging, requiring good fitness and sure-footedness. The exposed nature of the Kinder plateau means weather conditions can change rapidly, so be prepared for strong winds and varying visibility. Navigation can be tricky in poor conditions, making a map and compass essential. The route is not suitable for prams or wheelchairs due to its rugged terrain, including steep sections like Jacob's Ladder.
This loop is notable for several iconic features that define the Peak District landscape. You will experience Kinder Downfall, the highest waterfall in the area, known for its unique phenomenon of water being blown upwards in strong winds. The adventurous Grindsbrook Clough ascent and the historic Jacob's Ladder, part of the Pennine Way, add to the trail's character. Starting from the picturesque village of Edale, you can find amenities like pubs for refreshment before or after your hike.
