Fire Risk in the Peaks: There have been numerous fires in the Peaks. These fires not only kill the ground level vegetation but also can go deep underground and destroy the underlying peat. There are signs all around the Peak District indicating that naked flames be they fires, barbecues, stoves or indeed any naked flames are banned in the Peak District. There is a hefty fine if these rules are broken. Take care when out walking and protect the Peaks. [July 2026]

Walk to Trig Point
Summary : Edale - Grindsbrook - Crowden Head - Kinder Gates - Kinder Downfall - Kinder Low - Crowden Tower - Grindslow Knoll - Edale
Kinder Low is just off the Pennine Way, so this rote does follow the Pennine Way from Edale, up onto Kinder and a short detour to the trig point. Kinder is the Peak District for many. It is a largely flat plateau and Kinder Low is the high point on the western edge. Easy to get towards with views to Manchester.
