Kinder is a largely flat plateau at a height of around 600m, some bits higher, some lower. The summit is at Crowden Head which is an indistinct top in the middle of the typical Kinder landscape. This route takes in the high point plus a few of the other major landmarks on the Kinder plateau; Kinder gates and Kinder Downfall are two such. This is a busy area and best visited off season or mid week.
