Embark on a moderate 9.9-mile (16.0 km) hike through the Peak District National Park, gaining 1602 feet (488 metres) of elevation over approximately 4 hours and 56 minutes. This loop from Edale offers a diverse experience, from the rocky ascent of Grindsbrook Clough, where you might need your hands in places, to the exposed moorland of the Kinder Scout plateau. You will encounter impressive gritstone formations and reach the Kinder Low trig point, which provides panoramic views over the Edale Valley and beyond on clear days.
To plan your visit, remember that this trail is considered moderate to challenging, requiring good fitness and sure-footedness. The exposed nature of the Kinder plateau means weather conditions can change rapidly, so be prepared for strong winds and varying visibility. Navigation can be tricky in poor conditions, making a map and compass essential. The route is not suitable for prams or wheelchairs due to its rugged terrain, including steep sections like Jacob's Ladder.
This loop is notable for several iconic features that define the Peak District landscape. You will experience Kinder Downfall, the highest waterfall in the area, known for its unique phenomenon of water being blown upwards in strong winds. The adventurous Grindsbrook Clough ascent and the historic Jacob's Ladder, part of the Pennine Way, add to the trail's character. Starting from the picturesque village of Edale, you can find amenities like pubs for refreshment before or after your hike.

As you hike, you'll enjoy elevated views across the picturesque Vale of Edale, with glimpses of prominent landmarks like Mam Tor and Lose Hill in the distance. The route also takes you through charming hamlets such as Upper Booth and Barber Booth, giving you a taste of local character.
Starting from Edale, a well-known hub for walkers, you'll find excellent facilities including pubs, cafes, and a visitor center before you set off. This trail is considered easy to fairly easy, making it suitable for most fitness levels and skill sets. Be aware that some sections can be rocky, and you might encounter muddy conditions, especially after rainfall. The varied terrain includes gravel, natural paths, asphalt, and unpaved sections, so wear appropriate footwear.
This loop offers a gentle introduction to the beautiful Vale of Edale and notably samples the opening section of the Pennine Way, Britain's famous long-distance hiking trail. You'll pass through Upper Booth Farm, a National Trust property that includes a seasonal campsite and camping barn. The surrounding area is rich with stunning scenery, featuring Kinder Scout to the north and the Great Ridge of Mam Tor to the south.
