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]
Win Hill
| Grid Ref : | SK186850 |
| Height : | 462 |
| OS Map : | 110 |
| Win Hill sits between the Hope Valley and Ladybower Reservior giving especially good views of both plus a great view of the large expanse of Stanage Edge. Thus, Win Hill is seen from all corners of the Peak District. The eastern side that rises up from Yorkshire Bridge is very steep, but the western ridge is much ore gentle as it goes from the summit west then north to Hope Cross, the gateway to Kinder. | |

Start at Heatherdene car park. Cross the road and then over the Dam. Turn right to
find the path that climbs through the forest to get to the top of Parkin Clough.
The path now opens out to green slopes that lead to the summit of Win Hill.
Return by the same way or make a circular trip by following the west ridge to get
to the start of the forest by Wooer Knoll. Descend by the good path to Ladybower
reservoir with a pleasant walk back to Yorkshire Bridge and then the car park.
