The large plateau of Kinder is one of the jewels of the Peak District, typified by steep climbs from the valley to the flat and peaty summit plateau. The Pennine Way starts at Edale as does this route, which takes the Pennine way for the first part of the walk. Along the southern edge of Kinder there are many rocks with a variety of interesting shapes, many of which are named. Whilst the central part of the plateau is bleak these edges are less so and provide interesting walking.
