Kinder Low trig is found on the plateau of Kinder Scout. This spot is very popular with hikers as it boasts wonderful views and is visited by many iconic trails, including the Pennine Way. Many people mistakenly believe that this trig pillar marks the summit of Kinder Scout, however, the true summit actually lies northeast.

Kinder Downfall

Highlight • Natural Monument

Kinder Downfall is the highest waterfall in the Peak District and is unusual in that during periods of strong wind it can be blown upwards! On a clear day it's a spectacular sight. Take care when approaching the edge of the waterfall as it's a long way down!

View of Kinder Reservoir

Highlight • Trail

You're met with a great view if you've gone off the main trail following the small river/stream. There is a beautiful waterfall (depending on time of year) careful though if you venture too far it's a sheer drop. Follow the route around to go down to Hayfield (following either an around route or over and down)
