Edale to Kinder Scout Walk from Glossop train station

A challenging hike, starting at Glossop Station heading towards Whitefield, walk up Victoria street, left onto Gladstone Street and left onto Gladstone Close, up through the allotments, looking back for great views of Glossop valley.

Turn right onto Cliffe Road and follow through the old village passing the oldest school in Glossop. As you head out into open farmland turn right down Leantown where you climb over the only stile on route into Gnat Hole.

Pass down the hill over the footbridge, follow the path, cross over the track and follow the wooded path up towards Derbyshire Level. At the road crossover and pass through the gate, follow the path that heads up right towards Wormstones.

Keep heading up toward trig point Harry Hut. At Harry Hut, go left heading to the Pennine Way. At the flagged path, Pennine Way go left and follow until you reach a stone marker, passing the airplane crash site to your left.

At the stone marker (Mill Hill) pass straight across heading down onwards to William Clough, cross and head up a steep stepped path onto Kinder Low. Follow the well worn path along the edge, eventually reaching Kinder Downfall.

Continue on the footpath until you reach a large black rock outcrop, continue along the path until it splits, stay on the right path (Jacobs Ladder).
Follow the path down, some steep sections and stepped in places. The path passes through several gates, and farmland and wooded areas until you reach Edale.

The train station at Edale is just down the road to travel back to Glossop. Enjoy some well earned refreshments at one of the great pubs and cafes in the village.
