It was a good walk for a meet-up with my Grandchildren. Just the right length as they are only five and eight.

Other walks in the area

Ringing Roger & Edale Cross from Edale

Departure from Edale (Derbyshire)

This Peak District walk starts from Edale village and climbs onto Kinder Scout via Ringing Roger. The route provides rough moorland walking on relatively quiet paths and includes Upper Grindsbrook, Crowden Brook and Edale Cross before descending Jacob's Ladder on the return to Edale.

Grindsbrook and Edale Head from Edale

Departure from Edale (Derbyshire)

Grindsbrook and Edale Head are two of the highlights of this Peak District walk from Edale. Superb walking high above Edale on the Kinder Scout Plateau provides excellent views over this part of Derbyshire. Choose a good day for this route as poor weather makes navigation tricky.

Hope Cross & Ringing Roger from Edale

Departure from Edale (Derbyshire)

A Peak District walk that explores the eastern end of the Kinder plateau. Starting from Edale the route follows the slopes of Kinder to reach Hope Cross. From here the walk continues to gain height and follows a high level route for the return via Ringing Roger to Edale.

Rushup Edge & Crowden Tower from Edale

Departure from Edale (Derbyshire)

This Peak District walk starts from Edale and explores Rushup Edge, Brown Knoll, Edale Cross, Crowden Tower and Grindslow Knoll. The route contains many of the key features of this dramatic part of the Derbyshire Peak district and should be saved for a fine day.
