Kinder Scout Walk

Kinder Scout is one of the most popular trails in the Dark Peaks, and with good reason. This delightful circular walk begins and ends at Edale, just five miles from Losehill House, and easily accessible by local bus. Follow the path from the Old Nag’s Head to Grindsbrook Clough, crossing the moors and the Kinder Downfall, before making a descent at the iconic Jacob’s Ladder. The terrain is rough and undulating, but the magnificent views make the climb all worthwhile.

The Great Ridge and Win Hill Walk

A spectacular ridge, arguably one of the finest in the country, connects the twin peaks of Lose Hill and Mam Tor. It’s possible to scale Lose Hill directly from Losehill Hotel & Spa, and walk along the Great Ridge, descending from Win Hill via Twitchill’s Farm. This beautiful circular walk is one of the best routes close to the hotel, and makes for a wonderful afternoon out hiking in the Peak District.

Derwent Edge Walk

To start the Derwent Edge walk, take a local bus from Hope via Bamford to the visitor centre at Fairholmes. The trail will lead you past the spectacular waterfall at Derwent Dam, up the steep path at Hollins Clough, and finally up onto the Edge, where you’ll enjoy fabulous views over the Derwent Valley and the Dark Peaks. Don’t miss the many weird and wonderful gritstone tors along the way.

Stanage Edge Walk

Stanage Edge, a 6km gritstone ridge near the Hope Valley, is the main attraction of this popular Peak District walk. Take a bus from Hope to Hathersage, a medieval village where Charlotte Bronte once stayed, drawing inspiration from the region for her novel Jane Eyre. This walk provides exceptional views and you’ll have the chance to marvel at some of the adventurous rock climbers, clinging to the face of the ridge.

Padley Gorge Walk

This walk takes you through the beautiful Longshaw Estate, past gurgling streams and peaceful woodland. Yarncliffe Woods are certainly worth a visit in May, when you can expect the forest floor to be covered in a carpet of bluebells. This is also a wonderful place for nature spotting, and an excellent family-friendly walk. The trail is easily accessible by local buses from Hope.
