The High Peak, includes Kinder National Nature Reserve, the Vale of Edale and along the Snake moors to the Derwent edges. The countryside boasts heather moors, high gritstone edges and monumental windswept tors. The footpaths and bridleways can make an exhilarating day out, whatever the weather. You may spot the delicate deep pink flowers of bilberry bushes, or hear call of the curlew, and other moorland birds.
The iconic Mam Tor, is a protected Scheduled Monument that was once a hilltop fortress in the bronze age.
This iconic place is important for climate, nature and people. Restoration work here has turned once bare peat into a landscape covered in moorland vegetation to rewet the moors and create healthy peat bogs. This is helping to store carbon, improve water quality and prevent flooding. You can follow the route of the 1932 Mass Trespass onto Kinder National Nature Reserve, retracing the steps of those early champions of access to wild places.
