Best Hiking Trails near Peak Forest

"Kinder Scout is the highest point in the Peak District and is, therefore, a popular route for hikers. The walk from Edale goes up Jacob’s Ladder towards some incredible rock formations and, of course, the Kinder Low trig point. It is easy to see why it is one of the best Peak District walks because it is wild, unspoilt and a lot of fun to scramble and climb."

"Edale Village Hall Car Park - 10 minute drive from Losehill House. As the tallest peak in the Peak District, the views from the top of Kinder Scout are wide-reaching and truly beautiful. On a clear day, the city of Manchester can be seen from the plateau, as well as the mountains of Snowdonia in Wales."

"The Round Walk is a 15-mile loop that covers all of the Sheffield landscape; from the urban buildings to the rural valleys. The loop is split into four sections, so you don’t have to do the full length. See the Beauchief Abbey in Sheaf Valley and Bishops’ House in the Gleadless Valley."

"Sheffield round walk starts from Endcliffe Park and is a 15-miles long walk. You can access the map of this place from their official website. This exclusive activity offers the most picturesque views."

"Black Rocks is located between Cromford and Wirksworth and is easily accessible from the High Peak Trail. The rocks provide panoramic views across the Derwent valley towards Matlock Bath and Riber castle."

"Stanton Moor is another beautiful area for easy nature walks through changing terrains. Throughout one walk, you can enjoy ancient mossy trees, open areas overgrown with gorgeous seas of purple Heather, birch growth, and a path taking you through the lush tall fern. There are also more than 70 ancient burial mounds upon the moor, and Bronze Age stone circles, constructed by the people who lived and worked there4,000 years ago."

"For a countryside walk close to home, Longshaw Estate is the place to be. We absolutely love it and I know it’s very popular with families in Sheffield!. At Longshaw Estate there’s the perfect variety of woodlands, open countryside space, magical trees and rolling views."

"Not only does this North Quarter favourite knock up a tasty American-inspired spread (think lamb chops, garlic chicken and Philadelphia steak), but the drinks also take note from bars across the pond. Go for a hard shake or chill out with a Negroni at the weekend, where DJs take to the decks."

"Looking for the best vegetarian and vegan brunches in Manchester?. You can count on The Pen & Pencil to come through with heaps of meat-free mouthfuls. That's not all though, as this Mad Men-inspired haunt offers a menu of American grub that's worth trying in the evening too."

"New York style, The Pen & Pencil is close to the city centre and great for a shopping pit stop or work break. The lunch and brunch menu is served 10am-5pm and features dishes such as a burger, one of their brunch specials or grab one of their smoothies or shakes."

"Upshot Espresso is the city's most lauded roastery and their knowledgeable staff are happy to guide you through all the processes and varieties of their locally sourced beans. The red brick Uni buildings surrounding it give it a leafy green, academic feel so take your laptop along and pretend to do work while you feast on Scandiesque goods (we recommend the smoked salmon, dill and pickle brunch) and huge waffle stacks.

"Upshot may only do brunch once in a while (they open especially for it on select Saturdays, so keep an eye on their website/social media for announcements) but they do it very well – as you will see from the pictured rarebit on toasted sesame, linseed, and sunflower sourdough bread topped off with hearty slabs of bacon."
