Winter Walks: Kinder Reservoir from Bowden Bridge
A moderate circular guided walk around Kinder Reservoir starting from Bowden Bridge car park in Hayfield. Suitable for adventurous families!
- Booking essential
Winter transforms the High Peak into an epic and tranquil landscape. Crisp mornings dust the moorland with glistening frost and low-lying clouds blanket the valley floor creating famous cloud inversions. Explore the Peak District's hidden gems with our carefully curated winter walks programme, offering a selection of low-level walks across the Kinder, Edale & the High Peak.
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.
