Spring Walks: Kinder Reservoir from Bowden Bridge

Spring is one of the most exciting times to walk in the Peak District. While the moorland does not flower until the beginning of summer, the deep valleys begin to wake from the long winter. Bluebells, celandine and wood sorrel are some of the first flowers to bloom in the meadows and woodland, while the bleats of new-born lambs can be heard everywhere. Explore the Peak District's hidden gems with our carefully curated Spring walks programme, offering a selection of low-level walks across the Kinder, Edale & the High Peak that show off the best of springtime.

Join us on a circular walk in the shadow of the beautiful Kinder Scout National Nature Reserve. We’ll walk in the footsteps of the Kinder Mass Trespass as we march up to the edge of Kinder Scout before circling Kinder Reservoir and back to Hayfield.

The walk is approximately 5 miles and includes a short section of road, moderate ascent, uneven paths and a stream crossing.

Our walk leaders are incredibly knowledgeable, so please ask as many questions about the area as you like! Accompanied children are especially welcome but the walk is not suitable for pushchairs or prams.
