About Kinder Scout

Kinder Scout

At 2,087 feet high, Kinder Scout is the highest point in the Peak District, and the views from its plateaux are awe-inspiring in the truest sense of the words. Walking to the summit (at the inappropriately-titled Kinder Low) takes the visitor through a wide variety of different landscapes and perfectly illustrates the diversity of the Peak District. A word of caution, please do not venture into the hills and moors around Kinder without adequate equipment, including appropriate clothing and footwear, a map and a compass. The Kinder Plateau can be a difficult area to navigate, particularly when you are away from any landmarks.
