그레이터 맨체스터‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 폭포

That Birchen Clough Waterfall scramble looks like a fantastic challenge, especially with the detour! It’s the perfect spot for a bit of adventure after a long week. I actually spent my downtime yesterday playing at https://123games.io while planning my next hike, and now I’m definitely adding this Peak District loop to the list!

Tree down

Perfect for cold dipping

Really good fun part of the walk. We took our boys aged 11 and 8 and they loved it. It’s tiring and difficult in some parts - especially the last section up to the plateau.

Kinder Downfall is the waterfall where the River Kinder cascades off the Kinder Plateau. In summer, it's a small trickle, but it can become raging in wetter periods. It sometimes freezes in the winter and when running here in high wind it's not unusual to see the waterfall blowing back up the valley.

The Crowden Clough path follows Crowden Brook from Upper Booth up onto the Kinder plateau. The path is rough, rocky and steep. It's a grade 1 scramble in places but all the hard sections can be avoided. It's often wet and the path uses the stream bed in sections. Really good fun either up or down.

Kinder Downfall is the highest waterfall in the Peak District and is unusual in that during periods of strong wind it can be blown upwards! On a clear day it's a spectacular sight. Take care when approaching the edge of the waterfall as it's a long way down!

A brilliant Grade I scramble up onto the Kinder plateau. Care should be taken scrambling up the rock face, and it's probably better to attempt this in summer rather than winter as it'll be drier!
