The gritstone edge walking podcasts will introduce you to walking in the Peak District. Each podcast covers a single walk talking you through an interesting area of the Peak DIstrict. Here you will find walks mainly in the Dark Peak area including the Eastern Edges, Kinder, Bleaklow and a few outside these areas.

Kinder

• Brown Knoll
• Mill Hill and Featherbed Moss
• Mam Tor
• Kinder Summits
• Kinder Eastern Edge
• Ascent of Win Hill

Kinder Eastern Edge.

Kinder is a large and relatively flat plateau that dominates the northern part of the Peak District. This eastern aspect of the area is less popular and on many days the walker will be alone here. Views are of Win Hill, Lose Hill and Stanage Edge rather than over to the West and Manchester. A great place to get away from the crowds in this interesting part of Kinder. This route starts at Edale and climbs up to Kinder via Ringing Roger, and then walks around the eastern edges.

Brown Knoll.

Brown Knoll is a typical Peak District moorland top, flat wet and boggy. But there is a great walk over the top on Limestone slabs. This gives creat views over to Mam Tor, down the Edale valley and over to Kinder. This walk combines Brown Knoll with Lords Seat above Rushop Edge, Edale Cross and a descent via Jacobs Ladder.

Summit of Mill Hill.

Mill Hill and Featherbed Moss are the high points of the rounded moors south of the A57 at Snake summit. These are paired with an interesting walk down the Ashop Clough and then a walk back through Lady Clough plantation.s

View of Mam Tor from Castleton Valley.

"The Great Ridge" is a name given to the Lose Hill, Back Tor, Mam Tor ridge that dominates the westerly part of the Hope Valley. This route climbs the ridge at the eastern edge and follows around the Castleton skyline going initially to Mam Tor and around the Castleton skyline going initially to Mam Tor and then down into Limestone country, through the fields, and finally down Cave Dale back to Castleton itself.

Kinder Low trig Point.

Kinder is a largely flat plateau at a height of around 600m, some bits higher, some lower. It is reached by climbing steeply up from the surrounding valleys. The summit is Crowden Head at 632m, which is an indistinct top in the middle of the typical moorland landscape.

Win Hill trigpoint.

Win Hill dominates the central Hope Valley above Bamford. It is noticeable from Stanage Edge, from Kinder and from the Hope Valley itself. There is a short steep climb up to the summit from Yorkshire Bridge before a pleasant walk along the ridge, Hope Brink, before descending to Ladybower Reservoir. It is then a good walk along the track around the reservoir back to the starting point.
